Horse Boarding

One of the best things about keeping your horse at a boarding barn is that the bulk of the work and maintenance falls to someone else, freeing up more of your time to ride rather than do chores. When the weather is bad, someone else is responsible for dealing with frozen water buckets, feeding and blanketing. If you have to work late or go out of town, someone is there to take care of your horse. If your horse becomes ill or injured, there is someone around to spot it sooner rather than later. The reliable care of a good boarding barn means peace of mind for many horse owners.

Another bonus is the social aspect of boarding. It’s a great way to meet other equestrians, and there’s usually someone to ride with or to lend a hand. You can benefit from other experienced equestrians and watch and learn from other riding styles. A busy facility exposes your horse to more activity and more things; this exposure can be beneficial when you take him to a show or other places to ride. Plus, the camaraderie of your barnmates makes riding and showing more fun.
