So I have cheap field boarding like right across from my neighborhood where I will be boarding this horse I have coming in soon. They have access to acres and acres of trails that can even take you to different types of parks and what not. They also have a small arena and I can even take the horse to my house if I wanted to, do local shows on my own (and I have a 4H center on the other side of me), etc. Anyway! The horses there seem happy and content. The only concern I have is that high-tension wires run over the fields and when you stand near the fields you can hear them buzzing.
Is this safe? I've heard that animals have died from being under high-tension wires for long periods of time, but I've also heard that they are completely fine underneath them. But the horses that are there now were there a few years ago. So, maybe it isn't so much of an issue as I'm making it out to be?
If it is a health concern for horses and/or for me, I'd like to find another place before pursuing this one and having to deal with the horse's health knowing I could have taken him somewhere else. :-| When I get around to it in the next couple of days I can take pictures of the fields so you can get a better idea of how it's set up.
Thanks!
