Storm-Ready Horse Care

South Florida hurricane season runs from June through November, and Southwest Ranches horse owners know the anxiety of wondering who will check on their animals when a storm hits. Sheryl provides overnight barn sitting during severe weather: she'll be on-site before, during, and after the storm to monitor your horses, manage feeding and water, handle any emergencies, and coordinate with your vet if needed. This isn't a service she added to a brochure; it's something she's done firsthand, many times, with her own horses.

Complete Daily Horse Care

Sheryl's horse care isn't a quick check-in; it's thorough, consistent, and built on real experience. Here's what a typical daily visit includes for Southwest Ranches horse owners:

  • ✓Morning turnout and evening bring-in on your preferred schedule
  • ✓Feeding and hay according to your horse's nutrition plan
  • ✓Stall cleaning and fresh bedding
  • ✓Fly spray and seasonal pest management
  • ✓Visual health checks: hooves, eyes, coat, behavior changes
  • ✓Medication administration including oral, topical, and injectable
  • ✓Direct communication with you and your vet if anything comes up

More Than Just Horses

Many Southwest Ranches properties have dogs, cats, chickens, goats, and other animals alongside their horses. Sheryl handles the full mix: she'll manage horse turnout, walk the dogs, feed the barn cats, and check on the chickens all in the same visit. You don't need to coordinate between multiple providers when one person can do it all, and do it well.
