Hi everyone! Im going to be moving to (or near) Bakersfield, California and looking for recommendations of boarding facilities around the area (within an hour away). But it doesn't necessarily have to be near Bakersfield. I'm totally open to moving to a different area if I have to!
I'm currently living in New Jersey, where my 3 horses are on pasture board. I'm hoping to find a similar situation as my frisky thoroughbred mares hate being in a stall all day. I'm not concerned about the primary discipline of the barn, and nothing fancy! My main concerns are the board cost, my horses freedom (does it have pasture board or at least a good amount of group turn out during the day), and is it a fire prone area?
I hear a lot about how CA doesnt really do the pasture thing(cali horses basically live in a stall), but there are some exceptions in the more desert/canyon areas. The problem is, out in the desert and open areas are very prone to fires and that would be my biggest nightmare... Being an hour away from the barn (or worse, being out of the state for work) and having a fire evacuation and not being able to get to my horses in time.
I really want this to work out.. Please let me know if you have any information, names of barns, or suggestions that will help. Thank you!
