My fiance and I have been searching for a smaller piece of property to rent where I can keep and ride my two horses and haven't had much luck. We sat down and talked to a realtor and have decided just to go ahead and buy! I'm so excited! But I have a few questions:
For those of you who have your own facilities and have bought/built your own barns what have you liked and what have you wished was different? We will be primarily a hunter/jumper farm, but will be open for other disiplines as well.
I will eventually open the farm up for a few boarders and training/lessons. Does anyone have any advice on boarders?
Lastely, we are trying to come up with some name ideas. I like the idea of keeping it with the hunter theme but I also like the idea of naming it after my first horse, Lakota (show name- Lakota's Dream) She is a thoroughbred cross that I rescued 5 years ago and she is one of those special horses that you'll just never be able to replace. In the summer time her coat turns into a beautiful mirror silver color, so I was playing around with the idea of something along the lines of Silver Horse Stables/Farm or Silver Mare Stable/ Farm but my fiance isn't a fan. Some other ideas are:
Gen127 Stables (after Genesis 1:27)
Hunters Chase Stables
And that's all I've got so far!
