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"). It is crazy what you can find on the internet if you really put your mind to it, which is amazing and terrifying all at the same time LoL :D Regardless, I'm absolutely thrilled and feel so so blessed. 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

I may or may not have....

been squirreling away nickels and dimes and secretly putting money on a jumping saddle for the past 8 months... and just finally paid it off :D We took on on a test drive. It fits Tesla like a glove . She goes very well in it, and I can feel her starting to reach her back up under it. A moment of fancy! But for me, it is gonna take some getting used to!!! It rides like a giant pillow (so everything feels muffled) and it is a bit of a bouncy house, I have a hard time keeping my butt in the saddle! Boing! but pony stepping under herself well From what I've read online, these saddles are love or hate on the horse end, but I think for now, the muffled seat effect is just what this sensitive girl needs....at least until I can whisper with my seat bones... and that means TWICE as much work for me! So what's a girl to do to keep her wits in a bouncy castle?? Definitely started up a Pilates routine, to increase my core strength.... Any other
