I paid $450 at my trainer's barn after they built a new indoor - I since bought a new horse and moved him to my house. Her board has gone up to $545 a month. But everything is included. Honestly, some places are worth the money, to some respect. My trainer is EXCELLENT with horses - She turned my old mare from a school horse who was kicked out of the shows to an absolute dressage queen. I would trust her with any horse. But, she doesn't take crap some anyone, or anything ;) Oh, and I reside in MA

I dont pay any board at the moment, but that is because I ride with the owners 11 year old daughter top give her a riding partner. And I ride her horses which gives them exercise. I also work with one horse in particular that has manner issues, so I just allow the daughter to work with her with my supervision. I get my own stall as I need it, which is a birthing stall (dont know the dimensions) Kirby has his own pasture, with his own run-in, and in the winter has heated water. He gets fed twice a day. Also another boarder is partners with a vet so we get any help from them whenever a horse isnt feeling well. All I pay for is his hay and his feed.

The real price for full board at my place is $450 a month, but I will be working 6 hours a week so I'll only pay $100. I get full use of the tack room, indoor/outdoor arena, small cross country course, trails, 10x10 stalls, heated wash stall, grain twice a day in the winter plus hay twice a day and daily turnout

Than I went to a different barn with a round pen, corral stalls, supplied hay and full care for $175? Anyways I met my other half there so I guess it paid off! lol

I pay $175/month for my arab mare who has a 12x24 stall w/a 24x24 run AND she has a private 36x48 paddock. That includes feed 3x daily and her wet mash. Then I also board my mini there for $50/month... that also includes feed...... I NEVER understood why some facilities charge SO much! I know they charge for the "work" they do.... but its not work to me... My last boarding facility I was boarding at charged me $250/month and they NEVER FED MY MARE! they took my money and let her starve! now I don't even pay that much and I have 2 horses! Sorry for the rant....

Some boarding places just don't need to have horses period. everyone has heard the horror stories, I'm lucky its never happened to me.
I'm glad you're at a better place now. I've found there is no place like home to have your horses. it's absolutely wonderful and I'm grateful I have the place for them.

I dont have a horse atm, but once I get one I will be boarding at a place down the road.
6 stall barn, with hay storage, 12x12 stalls, and racks. Beautifully constructed and hasnt been used much. like new.

Huge outdoor arena.
5-10 acre pasture out back with lots of grass!

We will pay $50 per month, self board. we have to get our own hay.
