  1. Horse Boarding/Livery/Agistment Queries
    I am currently in a situation where we (husband and I) have had multiple conversations with our current BO and staff. Things improve for a short period of time but always revert back to the old ways. My horse: 21yo Appendix Gelding, diagnosed with Cushings, managed with Prascend. Very easy guy...
  2. Horse Boarding/Livery/Agistment Queries
    Hi there! I’ve found myself in a bit of a conundrum. I was leasing a horse at this great barn with an amazing trainer but the lease horse got injured and was sent back home. Trainer didn’t have anything else for me to ride and already had someone coming in to fill the open stall. She told me...
  3. Horse Boarding/Livery/Agistment Queries
    Before I dive into my issue, I want to clarify that when I say stall board, I mean the horse will still get 12+ hours of turn out everyday. I’ve had my horse at this barn for almost three months now on pasture board and I’m wondering if stall board would be better for him for the following...
  4. Horse Boarding/Livery/Agistment Queries
    Life circumstances have changed and if I want to continue owning horses I have to board. I'm so confused as to how it works. The barn I'm looking at is only open 4 hours a day, 4 days a week. I really don't want to pay $400 to board a horse ill never see. What about using facilities like...

    Hi! I’m originally from Alabama and have been riding horses for as long as I can remember. When I enter college on an academic scholarship I took a three-year hiatus from riding a horse ownership. But after I graduated from college, started undergraWhen I enter college on an academic...

    Hey yall, This is about my first horse, who I've had for around 4 months now. Almost 2 months ago, I moved my boy to pasture board, and he has been living in a large open space with around 10-15 other horses. This is his first time living in pasture, ever. Since the beginning, he has gotten...

    So i just bought a sweet 14'2 gelding. The stable he was raised in all the horses lived outdoors on acres of pastures. He has been kept in a stall but not for longer than a few days at a time. The area i live in sucks. All the barns (except for two that charge 2-300 more {board is already $900...
  8. Horse Boarding/Livery/Agistment Queries
    Hi, I am moving my horse to new barn. It is small barn, just me and another boarder who I haven't met. I have always paid my board with check at other boarding places but just found out that barn owner here wants cash only. She is old school, handshake is good, sort. I want a receipt and...
  9. Horse Boarding/Livery/Agistment Queries
    Hey folks! I'm very new to Utah. Just moved to Price about a month ago. I'm desperately searching for a place to board one mare. So far, I haven't been able to find anything closer than an hour. Is there anyone here in the area that knows of closer places to board? Any help would be greatly...
  10. Horse Boarding/Livery/Agistment Queries
    I'm essentially asking if boarders are responsible for paying for repairs if their horse breaks something? I understand if their horse breaks a fence once or twice. That's an easy fix and it's no big deal; but what if a horse breaks something (like a gate) multiple times within a month? Do you...
  11. Horse Boarding/Livery/Agistment Queries
    We have only 5 boarders, though are in a horse-saturated area... our rates are competitive, but my hubby says we should lower them, to be comparable to barns in the area that board without an indoor (we do have an indoor). Any thoughts? My concern is that the few boarders we do have will also...

Also the board cant be exceeding $600 a month. Being in...
  13. Horse Boarding/Livery/Agistment Queries
    I have a slight dilemma on my hands. I make more than enough money to afford a horse, but board around here is pretty expensive for full care. I found one barn that will deduct board as I'm able to come out and clean stalls, but unfortunately I tend to work 12-14 hours at my job and...
  14. Horse Boarding/Livery/Agistment Queries
    I have been at this barn for almost a year now and when I first moved in there was plenty of grass for the horses to graze on but now that there are more boarders the pasture is basically dirt. My horses are now in their stalls almost all day long because of no grass to eat( Plus the other...
  15. Horse Boarding/Livery/Agistment Queries
    Hey everyone! So I board my horse at a really nice, enormous boarding facility. He lives in the pasture board part of it, and we pay $350 a month for board. The horses have access to 40 acres of extremely nice green pastures (almost too nice; most of the horses need muzzles in the summer), and...
  16. Horse Boarding/Livery/Agistment Queries
    Hi, I'll try to keep it simple, I'm very torn about what I should do though I think in my gut I know. I am the only boarder at the barn I'm at. The other horses are the owners. The barn does not have everything I would want but it has the type of stall I wanted, a really nice board owner and a...

    Hello everyone! My friend has been looking into getting a horse for quite some time now, and had a few money related questions. She is 14. What are good ways to make money, especially for board? What could she offer for a lower board price? Should she try to find people to lease her horse...
