Horse Property Tour – Commercial Stable, Vossenberg Farm
September 29, 2018 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Commercial Stable Highlights Stewardship
Vancouver, WA – WSU Clark County Extension’s Small Acreage Program and Vossenberg Farm in Ridgefield will host a tour of the 26 acre commercial horse stable and training facility on Saturday, September 29. We invite the public to view practices that reduce mud, control runoff, manage manure, and much more. In 2005, the Small Acreage program recognized the Vossenberg Farm with a Doing Our Part For Clean Water sign for implementing stewardship practices to protect water quality and natural resources.
Tour participants will hear from Anna Collier, competitive rider, trainer, and farm manager. She will talk on strategies she uses to manage Vossenberg Farm effectively and care for horses stabled there. Participants will also get tips and share ideas for dealing with common issues on small acreage properties.
The Small Acreage Program, co-sponsored by Washington State University Clark County Extension and Clark County Public Works Clean Water Program, will provide information, handouts, and answer landowners’ questions at the workshop.
Doug Stienbarger, Director, says, “This tour provides and opportunity for folks to learn how to improve horse health and their horsekeeping operation while protecting clean water.”
