There have been all too many news stories recently about flooding in several areas of the country. I don't have to tell you how bad this is for all those affected. But after the waters recede, it is time for people to work together to get their lives back as normal as they can, and generally as quickly and cost effectively as they can. This is certainly true when it comes to your horses and horse farm. These same steps to clean up apply to any ranch and stable, as well as with any other livestock and barns.
The Horse provides the following:
"Your arena is not meant to be a water obstacle. Your barn is not a kiddie pool. And your fences should be high enough to keep your horses contained, not lost under quickly rising water. But Mother Nature doesn’t always play by the rules, especially when it comes to flooding.

just water rising and falling around stationary objects. Flooding presents a
unique set of problems. Flood water is laden with mud and debris that ranges in
size from small, relatively harmless items to large, heavy objects such as
vehicles. The water can carry debris for some distance throughout the affected
area."
