Horse Barn Specialized Areas – Feed Rooms

Feed rooms are specialized areas within the barn used for preparing the food delivered to the horses.  It often doubles as storage for food but here, the article and images are about organization and preparation.

When a large group of horses are under one roof it is important to organize because an individual horse may be either medicated or supplemented differently from the others.  Usually only 1 person is in charge of this duty but having clear instructions written conspicuously helps to avoid confusion.

Clutter should be avoided because tripping over things can cause injury as well as frustration.  Keeping the “kitchen” clean is essential to pride as well as efficiency.  Medications that need protection from extreme temperatures, require refrigeration or kept out of bright light need to be protected as directed.  A clean counter helps in preparing each serving and labeling the buckets prevents giving medication to the wrong horse.
