Facility
Contruction of TJ Farm
Sporthorses 14 stall barn**
and laboratory was completed 2006. Ten of the stalls have either
16'x12' or 16'x16' graded paddocks with 6' tall heavy welded wire
panels. We also have four 12'x 24' stalls in our mare motel. All
stalls in the main barn are matted, have individual timed lights, and
automatic 2.5 gallon waterers. Two stalls have swing partitions to
convert four 12'x12' stalls into two 12'x24' stalls. When the
sweltering summer heat comes to the Sacramento valley, we offer our
equine friends fans in their stalls. The main barn includes a large
(36'x40') open work area which houses institutional breeding stocks
and adjoins the separate laboratory (16'x12'). In addition, the main
barn is also equipped with individual tack, grain and wash areas. The
facilities also boasts a new 210' x 80' indoor arena**
with lights and
Fibar footing, and a new 70' round pen arena enclosed with 12'x6'
heavy welded wire panels which provide a safe working environment for
the horses.

Horse stalls are bedded
with shavings or
Premium
Barn Dry pellets depending on the time of year. Stalls are cleaned twice daily, 6 days
a week and horses are fed orchard or rye grass hay twice daily with
Stable MixTM
pellets (Elk Grove Milling, Inc.). Alfalfa and oat hay are available,
additional afternoon feeding available - please see fee schedule.

The facility also has multiple irrigated grass turn
outs enclosed with 5' or 6' tall non-climb and ElectroBraid
TM,
and automatic 40 gallon water troughs. Horses are turned-out individually with a buddy in the
neighboring pasture, weather permitting.

Even though horses are beautiful animals, their innate flight
response under foreign/stressful situations makes them unpredictable
and potentially dangerous to themselves and to others around
them. To minimize the risk of injury to horses and handlers, the main
barn has a 16' wide center aisle and a
large outside area for loading and unloading horses. In addition, the barn is surrounded
by a 16' to 25' wide gravel road to provide our customers
convenient truck and trailer access when dropping off and picking up
horses. The main barn and surrounding roads are fully enclosed by 5' non-climb fencing
and gates, and for added security the entire facility is enclosed by an additional
5' non-climb fence with locking gates.
