Carlisle Rd. (SR-74) in Dover Township is scheduled to be closed starting sometime the week of May 13, 2024. Carlisle Rd. will be closed between George St. and Stony Ln.

The closure is for installation of new sewer mains and laterals. The work is planned to last approximately one month. Final paving of Carlisle Rd. will happen after the sewer work is completed.

Traffic will be detoured around the area while the work is being completed. To view the detour route, click on the link below.

TRUE story 😂

Unlike humans, horses are designed to run on a full stomach. Feeding your horse 2-3L of chaff or a biscuit of hay prior to exercise has two benefits :
1️⃣ The chaff will form a ball of feed in the stomach, which will help prevent acid from splashing up from the lower part of the stomach to cause gastric ulcers.
2️⃣ Blood is normally diverted away from the stomach during exercise, which reduces some of its normal protective mechanisms. Research has shown that feeding your horse before exercise actually reduces the amount of blood that is shunted away from the stomach and also increases the amount of blood delivered to the skeletal muscles and muscles of the chest. So not only are you helping to protect the stomach, you also might be improving your horse’s performance.
