If horses test positive on EPG fecal test - owners will be billed for additional wormer to treat. Vaccines - Kern Road and Dr Cadena will vaccinate spring and fall- these vaccines are required.

Reminder - board is due the first of the month. There is a $50 late fee if I do not have payment in hand by the 7th of the month. You may pay electronically via the link on your invoice to Inuit or via Paypal (Ruth@stapletonfarm.com) or via check/cash in the box in the barn. As always if there are any questions or you need something contact Ruth directly. |
