Saletta's Lazy S Ranch is a family ranch. For nearly 50 years, we have cared for an average of 50 to 80 horses daily.
Though our rules may seem numerous, they are necessary for us to continue our business. Ranch Manager Robert will remind you of some of the rules you may have missed, but in no time at all you will be comfortable boarding with us in a safe and affordable environment.
We pride ourselves on keeping our rates as low as possible while providing for the safety of all our customers and their horses.
We strongly encourage all new boarders to read and understand these rules before deciding to board with us.
We expect you to be financially solvent enough to provide proper care for your horses. We need to have a way to get in touch with you at any time in case any of your horses experience an emergency.
No person shall handle, ride, or participate in any horse activity until a participant’s hold harmless agreement has been completed, signed, and accepted.
Children should be supervised and in attendance of an adult at all times. No climbing, including shavings, hay, or other areas of the barn and ranch.
No smoking in any area of the ranch other than inside a vehicle or by areas at pasture lanes as designated by Ranch Manager Robert.
No dogs are allowed on the ranch.
No bicycles or motorized bikes around any horse activity areas

No Riding Double
Do not lope or canter your horse in the yard area.
Do not allow your horse at liberty in the yard area. A loose horse could injure itself or someone else.
Lawns are not pastures. Do not allow horses to graze on the lawns. “lawn” is green grass that we water and mow.
Do not tie to trees, fences, or bleachers. Use hitch racks, tie rings, or X-ties only.
Clean up after your horse when tied or unloading from a trailer. Deposit manure and shed hair in muck buckets or manure pile.
Wash horses at wash racks only.
Keep horse concrete.
Conserve water and overflow by using low volume and turning off when not being applied to the horse.
Do not wash manure or hair into the drain at the indoor wash rack.
Do not use other people’s halters, tack, grooming aids, or buckets: including ranch equipment.
Ranch equipment that is available for general use: Ranch implements such as muck-rakes, shovels, brooms, etc. need to stay in the area they reside.
The Ferrier Muck Bucket goes in the dumpster only, not on the manure pile as it inevitably ends up containing ferrier waste.
Double-check all Gates to be sure they are latched and/or snapped.
We charge a $25.00 fee for wrangling your horse if you fail to latch and/or snap your enclosure gate.
Close and lock tack rooms when you or other users are not immediately present.
Example: go to catch your horse in the pasture or while riding. Or going to the bathroom (just for a minute).
