Experienced horse people only!
I've been around horses all of my life but have never boarded them, so I was wondering what kind of questions I should ask the people that I'm calling to inquire about their ads. Off of the top of my head I can come up with these questions, but I'm sure there are more, and I want to make sure that I don't completely miss something due to inexperience in this area.
- Cost per month
- Type of plans available (I'm looking for a pasture boarding situation with a shed, not interested in stalls)
- Size of shed
- How many horses per pasture?
- How far away
- Who feeds the horses (owner or property owner)?
- If property owner feeds, what grain is availabe and do they separate the horses
- Is hay and grain included in board
- Riding arena or roundpen on property?
- Requirements for the horse (i.e. current coggins, shots, etc)
- What type of fencing do they use (barbed wire, wooden, pipe, etc)
- Size of pastures
There are others but Yahoo limits your characters
