Must haves for Boarding at home

With all the changes in my life comes one more - the opportunity to purchase a home with a bit of property where I can park the sports cars ;) Future pasture <3 Long story short, I went to look at one house, spied another I liked better across the street that wasn't on the market yet, tracked down the seller, and was able to make colour selections on the renos before I had even put an offer in ;) The realtors asked how I did it, and I'll tell you in one word: Google (or as my Mum says "Google-d-google").

As this particular place has no horse set-up, I get to plan it all out, and I gotta say, the choices are overwhelming - and I'm thinking a lot about what I and the horses really need : what is non-negotiable and what is just nice to have...

.....And we've moved!

The past few weeks I've been doing a bit of barn shopping... some of which were crazy strict: " Horses must have a stallion chain on at all times" (maybe this barn was actually a race track?) " No outside trainers. No dressage trainer. " (Why you no like prancing ponies?) The stables are closed on Mondays. There is no riding, turning out, etc. on Mondays. If there are extenuating circumstances, such as medical treatment, you must notify the Stable Manager and make special arrangements. A professional MUST be present on the grounds for a Monday turnout or treatment. (What if snuggles are necessary ?) So, in the end I called up the previous barn (great facilities, a bit competitive for my taste, but safe & excellent care) and lo and behold, it was perfect timing as they had a paddock with a shelter just open up. So I took it. The Horse Wrangler drove the trailer over this weekend, and we moved her, easy peasy, no fuss. Sh...
