Update on executive order for equine operations and horticulture...
"Equine operations: animal care is exempt, so farm workers can be on the farm to do so. No riding lessons, camps, etc. Horse owners should not visit their horses to ride on boarding farms."
In speaking to the Farm Bureau it is clear, the intent of the order is not only to reduce ER visits due to injury but to also to limit the number of people in and out of the barn. The intent is that owners DO NOT go to the barn to ride OR for any other reason other than an emergency and allow those in charge of caring for your equine do their job in the safest environment possible, their lives could very well depend on it.
