How much do you pay for board?

[justsambam08]

I pay $425 for a 14x12 stall, night turn out (by himself atm) on an acre, free use of a rodeo sized arena with jumps course and barrel pattern, round pen, a 20 minute ride to miles of trails, and access to an English AND Western trainer, one of which lives on the property....plus I get discounts on lessons. They feed hay/grain twice a day, will hold for the vet/farrier for free, blanket in the winter for free, two tack rooms with A/C, four wash racks....the list goes on and on. This is actually relatively cheap compared to board in my area....my friend boards at a place around the corner from where I work, and she pays SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS a month! Just because its a show barn. She wanted me to board there and I was like "I make that much in a month...."

But I have to say, atmosphere makes a difference. If I was paying 425 for people who were standoffish, I probably wouldn't pay it. Around my barn you can come out and just sit around and talk!

It will be $90/m which includes a stall/bedding, tack room, use of pasture/pens, indoor arena and 2 out door arenas. I have to pay for my own hay, so all together, about $180-$190/m.
