Friends of Ferdinand facility polices are intended to ensure that each FFI horse is provided a safe environment that meets the needs of the each individual horse.

1. Shelter: The minimum acceptable shelter is at least 3-sided and large enough to accommodate the number of horses on the site. Ideally the minimum space for each horse is 10’ x 10’ per horse. Shelter should be dry, and clean.
2. Fencing: The type of fencing must meet the needs of the individual horse. Barbed wire is not encouraged.
3. Pastures: Must be clean, free of debris and safe.
4. Overall condition of the facility should provide a safe environment for the horse to live.
5. Water should be plentiful and clean. Troughs should be reasonably clean of algae.
6. Hay and grain should be of sufficient quality and be properly stored.
7. Each Facility (adoption or foster) must pass a facility inspection.
