If I did board at my local riding stables/school it would be either £80 (about $160) a month or free if I agreed to work more hours or allow the horse to be used in lessons. This would be a mixture between half-board, DIY or full-board as we tend to have this arrangement with the horses that if someone can't come down a lot for awhile then we will take over more of the care if they agree to us riding him/her within reason. It works well!
I don't pay anything, but I usually charge $150 per horse a month (That's negotiable, if they have a well behaved horse and are short on cash, we can usually agree on some compromise) plus a share of the feed bill if they want me to do the feeding.
I think we are paying between $280 and $350 (I'm not 100% sure because my mom pays it). I know that board has gone up but we don't pay that because we let our horses be used for lessons. So we just pay full board for one horse even though we have two there. It's crazy expensive if we paid his new prices but this all includes shots, worming, turn out, and food. So they have it pretty good.
We pay 125 CD$ per horse (3) and that's pasture only, wind breaks, automated waterers, hay in winter and all year around minerals & salt. The foal is free, not sure when I have to start paying for her :wink:
Super low price for this Area!
I pay $300-350 a month... depending on how many days of turnout, diet, and stall bedding. My horse is on full care which covers stall, daily turnout, and the staff will feed and clean his stall.
I think it is well worth the money for just the facilities. I board at the Texas Tech Equestrian Center. Here's some pics:
Here's a picture of the turnouts
These are pictures of the main arena.
There is also a round pen, two outdoor arenas, small turnouts, large turnouts, pasture turnouts, and nice roomy stalls. I also have a stall that I put my tack in. You have to share with other people, but it is cool.( I managed to squeez a mini fridge in my side of the stall) :lol: And for the full care people, there is a feed stall where the staff puts your horses food in so they can feed easier.
i know that where i ride they charge $700 (!!!!!) but they pay for feed and everything the horse needs so basically you could technically never visit the horse and she'd be fine (who the heck would do that right?)...is that too much?
I pay $400 for three horses, self care. We buy our own feed, feed the horses ourselves, clean stalls ourselves, etc. For this I get a good sized dry lot pen with 3 stalls and a large tackroom. Two of the stalls are about 12x12 and one is 12x24. There is also a covered "patio" where the horses can hang out and stay cool. We leave the stall doors open so they have free run of the paddock. The stable has two washracks (one is covered) a HUGE covered round pen that is big enough to ride in, a smallish riding arena, a decent sezed pasture for turnout, and several covered seating areas and picnic tables. Not a fancy place by any means but a decent place to board.
we pay $415 a horse (we have 2). That does not include any shots, or worming, blanketing, putting fly masks on, or trimming/shoeing. most times it costs my boyfriend and i over $1000 a month
Wow, I feel so poor seeing that a lot of people forking over so much money for boarding!
I only pay $65 per month and that only includes automatic watering, use of the roundpen, and the use of outdoor arena (only 1).
I feed my horse myself everyday unless I have to go out of town and I'd have somebody else come to feed my horse. I like it this way better because I get to see my horse everyday and work with him whenever I want to.
I pay $145 a month per horse in OREGON. Thats for use of two indoor arenas an out door arena, round pin, 12X24 stall with run, daily turn out, fly mask, blanketing, feeding, and stall cleaning. All I have to do is supply the hay/grain/vita/shots/worming/vet, and enjoy my horses!!
Full care $250 and is all the same but they supply food
Uh. Im moving to Oregon. I pay $400 at month for a 10x12 stall, turnout, blanketing, an indoor arena(that's only like 50x80...small), outdoor arena 80x150, grain, hay, feeding 2-3x a day, stall cleaning once daily. Theres also a few jumps in the arena.
After I had to move my horses out of their old barn (where I was getting full board for 6 hours of work a week...real cheap, although not the nicest facility), I asked a neighbor who had a lot of land and a gelding, if I could keep my horse in her pasture in exchange for work. No liabilty involved, and they'd basically do nothing but provide the land. They wanted to charge me the equivilant of 200$ per horse working it off at pay below minimum wage. I said no way and built a little fence in my half acre back yard...But is that a rip off or what?

I pay $250 a month for outdoor board. Which includes use of all the facilities. The price is pretty reasonable seeing as the place is BRAND new. Their old barn got bought by WE energies...and WE bought them almost 200 acres and paid for EVERYTHING to make a new barn. There are 100 stalls, an indoor wash stall, indoor arena, outdoor arena, a HUUUGE tack room, bathroom and viewing lounge with cabinets, microwave and full fridge, trails, multiple pastures and turnouts, shelters and run ins. Here are some pictures...they all have either my horse in it or my sisters

It includes everything, daily grain 2x, 3x hay a day; daily turnout [depends on weather] all feed, supplements, all the facilities [huge indoor; indoor washracks; heated lounge/tack, pond to take horses swimming in & more]
