Are your premises staffed 24 hours?
As there are staff staying on the property day and night, we are virtually on the property at all times.
We even have a horse vet on the premises! Occasionally, we'll leave the property to get supplies when the horses are back in the barn.
What do you feed?
We are fortunate to grow our own hay and use no chemical fertilizers.
We also have grass paddocks in the fair weather, and large square bales in specially designed basket feeders
that are used outdoors when grass is not available.
This system is superior to round bales for two reasons: large square bales do not have the mold and dust that
many round bales contain; and secondly, the large basket feeders aerate the hay and it is dust free.
There are three types of concentrates to choose from: a 12 percent complete feed pellet, "Challenger", a 16 percent
complete feed pellet, "Krunch", and beet pulp. We will feed owners' supplements or medications at no charge.
Should your horse require a special diet/grain that we do not offer, it will be at the horse owner’s expense.
An additional charge may be applied if CHF has to pick up the product from the feed store.
What is your policy with a sick horse?
With a sick horse that requires medical attention, we first put a call in to the owner.
If it is our opinion that professional help is ungently needed, we will immediately put a call in to a vet of the owner's choice.
Who is your blacksmith?
Bob Hancott and Dave Dawson are at Country Hill regularly.
If you prefer to use your own blacksmith, that person is welcome as long as he/she has insurance and is a
licensed farrier.
Who is your vet?
Dr Watt and Dr. Maggie Turner.
However, if you have a vet whom you prefer using and that person is easily accessible in an emergency,
then we will use that vet for your horse.
Do you allow outside coaches?
No.
The owner of Country Hill is a certified coach and so is the barn manager.
Both offer private lessons to both boarders and students and we also have an Equine Canada instructor
candidate who works under our direction.
How much are lessons?
$80 for a one hour private lesson, $60 for a half-hour.
If the student brings his/her own mount, lessons are $5 less.
See our rates.
Is your stable solvent?
With so many equestrian centres in the GTA going under or being sold for housing developments, this is a question we hear often.
Although it's impossible to say that any venture is 100 percent secure in these financial times, the stable has been
owned and operated for over 20 years and has managed to maintain a highlevel of service and care throughout that time.
