When it comes to choosing a boarding stable, I always prioritize the safety and well-being of my horse. Clean facilities, knowledgeable staff, and ample turnout space are some of the things I look for. What about you?
There are no good boarding barns. If you thing it's good, you probably just don't know what's going on. This video assumes there is boarding to choose from. In my area there's not. What's left after so much closed the past 5-10 years are just idiots cutting corners and with not a care in the world about your horse. I finally gave my horse away, a 50k imported dressage horse, because he was getting abused. I tried 3 barns the last 2 years. All had critical short comings like not feeding gastrogard when he had ulcers (from stressful boarding with not enough hay) and so much more. I had to save his life. My budget was unlimited. Still nothing good was around here. I've owned horses for 35 years. Now I've decided never again until I have my own farm. I paid 12k in vet bills, ulcers caused by the barn, just in 10 months. Never again. Last place I boarded they used pellet bedding. Just a little heap in the middle, no water, just hard pellets. My grey horse had to lay in his pee, it would harden on his coat and you'd see dried drip marks. Then the barn owner laughed at how silly it was my gelding laid right in the pee. Where else would he lay? There's no bedding!!!! it was just terrible.
I am so sorry to hear that! As a barn owner that tries to go above and beyond in care and service I am saddened to hear your story of places that are not doing their job. It sounds like you made the right call not allowing your horses to go through that. We are in the Midwest where quality care is more available. I wish you the best and thank you for sharing your story.

What are some of the things you look for and must haves in your boarding stable?
