Standard of Care
Care of Sanctuary Horses
The devoted care of the sanctuary horses is the single
most important activity at
Beyul ranch. Serving the needs and care of the horses takes precedence
over all
other things.
Comfort
Overall comfort for the horses is attended to starting
with their housing. This includes shelter from the elements, bedding for
restful napping, fresh water and ergonomic feeding systems.
Diet
A basic equine diet of forage type hay plus, individualized vitamins, supplements, pellets and maintenance medication, to meet their current nutritional and health needs.
Dignity
It is important at all times maintain the instinctual dignity of the horses and in turn we maintain the individually dignity of each horse. You will find their stories, however you will never see traumatic pictures of their injuries or their poor condition prior to arriving at the sanctuary.
Enrichment
Emotional connections with their caregivers, playful interaction with other horses (though sometimes limited due to physical limitations), toys and regular game like activates enrich the horse's lives. All help to keep their mind and emotions engaged and involved.
Environment
We strive to create a peaceful and safe environment for the horses. One in which they feel comfortable just being horses. They are able to see their immediate surroundings and the daily sanctuary activities. Plus they are able to see distant activities along the surrounding elevated hillsides.
Medical Care
Quality medical care is also an important piece in the
overall care and well-being of
the horses. This includes both naturopathic and allopathic medicine.
