I am offering non-refundable deposits to pre-book a stall, paddock, or pasture for fire season, offered with 24- to 48-hour free pickup (within 30 miles) or without pickup.
With deposit: pre-signed hauling and boarding agreement, along with proof of updated vaccinations, required.
I am very blessed to have a large property of 33.42 acres, very centrally located near Portland and near a large upscale housing community, significantly reducing our fire potential. Additionally, my property is cross-fenced with tons of pasture and paddock options available. I own 18 horses, and most of mine are outside, so this gives me the availability to offer this through the summer and fall.
I am offering peace of mind and security if you need to evacuate your current location due to fire or smoke. Our facility will provide full-care services, feeding quality hay — orchard or alfalfa — and your provided grain and supplements twice a day. I will only book each stall, paddock, or pasture up to my maximum availability and no more. If, for some reason, our farm needs to evacuate, I will relocate horses to the nearest fairgrounds at a per-mile rate.
Hopefully, as a community, we learned from the 2020 fires to have a plan. Cowgirl 911 was great, but there were some flaws. No hunter/jumper or dressage owner wants their best friend, baby Pookie, at a fairgrounds next to a feral stallion that’s never been vaccinated, not knowing if their horse is going to be fed, watered, have its stall cleaned, or be cast or kicked through the panels. A lot of the hauling was done in such panic that owners didn’t know which fairgrounds their horses went to, and attempted horse theft was happening.
I have large animal emergency training. I’m a reputable trainer certified through the University of Findlay, and I worked in the veterinary field for many years before going pro. During the 2020 fires, I saved one hundred animals, sixty of which were horses. I have a quality truck and trailer and experience loading just about any horse, though I hope you guys are practicing.
I have already checked this plan over with my insurance and will have specialty coverage.
