Must haves for Boarding at home

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...
