    Could use some help weighing my options for board! I have an OTTB and a senior gelding, I’m pleased with their current place for the most part, the owners are very kind, however it’s a 1hr commute (so 2hrs total) which is really difficult for me in the winter with the sun setting so early, and...
  2. Horse Boarding/Livery/Agistment Queries
    Hi all! So my question is fairly straightforward - I am leaving my current barn to go to another facility that's a bit better equipped for h/j training and lessons (okay, and a bit of drama that I'd rather not be involved with). I looked at several prospective barns to board at before I...
  3. 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...
  4. Horse Boarding/Livery/Agistment Queries
    Would $250 a month be to much to charge for a boarding a mini? Services Provided: Hay fed twice a day in slow feed nets. Water, heated in winter. Grain and supplements fed (owner provides). Blanketing if owner desires. The facilities would include 12x12 stall or shed with with mid-sized run and...
  5. Horse Boarding/Livery/Agistment Queries
    So my husband and I have decided to get out of boarding. We have a 8 stall barn in our yard. We’re burned out. I can’t dedicated the time to the barn and my new family (I have a baby). I barely do anything with my own horse, and I never have my barn to myself. I informed the boarders back mid...
  6. Leasing, Loaning, Buying, Rescuing
    In the next couple of years I want to free lease or purchase a horse. We are on a budget and not too sure of the commitment of buying but recently my mom and I have been getting more serious about it. I have leased horses before and worked multiple jobs at multiple stables for years and am...

    25 yo gelding pony currently living his best life in South NJ with a pasture mate who is much older and likely doesn't have much time left. We won't separate them until she passes, but when that happens he will need to go somewhere with friends. I have budgeted for his retirement and I want to...
  8. Horse Boarding/Livery/Agistment Queries
    Hello everyone, I've begun the process of starting to look at boarding facilities around me as I plan on purchasing a horse this coming spring. I would love to know what everyone looks for in a boarding facility for their horse. I've never boarded a horse before as my past horses lived on my...
  9. 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...
  10. Horse Boarding/Livery/Agistment Queries
    My gelding is 23 and has been at his current barn for 4 years and seems to be very happy there. He has a best buddy that he is turned out with along with several other geldings. I thought I wanted to relocate him closer to me but now that I have a plan to do that I am second guessing. My horse...

    Hello all, looking for input: I just moved my horse to a new barn. Pay $215 for pasture board, I feed a few times a week and provide feed and hay. Horses are in the pasture full time except when they come to eat. Owners are going to be going out of town soon. They let me know when they go out of...
  13. Horse Boarding/Livery/Agistment Queries
    I have a 2 year old filly who has been in a pasture 24/7 her whole life. I am now going to have to put her in a stall as I'm boarding away from my home. What would be a good way to get her used to the idea of a stall and stall life? She is quiet temperament and easy going, but don't want to...
  14. Horse Boarding/Livery/Agistment Queries
    I have a fantastic, sweet, well trained and centered stallion. I am seeking a good place to board, somewhere with healthy turnout, safe fencing and knowledgeable about stallions where they will charge reasonable board without charging through the roof. He has no vices or behavioral issues...
  15. Horse Boarding/Livery/Agistment Queries
    Okay so this is kinda a vent, but I also need advice. I just recently bought my first horse and it’s been a huge dream of mine. I have experience riding and I used to volunteer with a local horse rescue. So this all started when I ended up moving away a few months ago to a new area. When I first...
  16. Horse Boarding/Livery/Agistment Queries
    I have been at this boarding facility for about a year and a half, and the care has since severely declined paired with my barn owner being practically bipolar and driving her boarders to leave with a 'my way or the highway' attitude (I understand this within reason but her requests have usually...
