When spring arrives in many parts of the country, it often brings rain and thunderstorms along with it. Several inches of rain over a period of time can lead to flooding in areas, putting both you and your horses at risk.
In last week’s poll, we asked our readers how they managed flooding near or around their horse barn or facility. More than 550 people responded and we’ve tallied the results!
Of the 585 respondents, 190 (32%) said they use preventive measures to prevent their barns from flooding. Another 31 people (5%) indicated they have another location to take their horses if the barn floods. Some 329 (56%) respondents said their barn or facility is not affected by flooding, and the remaining 35 individuals (6%) responded with "other."
