Horse Talk is our monthly news letter with stories about you and your horse.  You can Ask a question or,   submit a story.

  Boarding blues can hit at anytime. I personally have always enjoyed boarding my horses , so it came as no surprise that when I was able to have my own horse property, I would board horses also. I enjoy the company of fellow horse enthusiasts. There are and always will be the usual problems and differences that come with boarding horses as well. We are , after all human and no one including myself is perfect by no means.  Boarders come and boarders go. 

 If you are thinking of boarding horses on your property, great!  It is a great way to meet new people.  It is also a good way to  help pay for your own horses . Just be sure and cover your legal issues .

 Make sure everything is in writing. Have your boarders sign  a liability waiver as well as a boarding agreement contract which covers themselves and their family. Have any guest of your boarders sign a liability waiver as well when they come out to ride. 

 You do not have to have a fancy barn or a barn at all for that matter. I have  pasture board. Pasture boarding is healthy and natural for horses. They aren't made to be kept stalled. They are happiest and your Vet will tell you healthiest , out in the open spaces with plenty of pasture grass for grazing.  A roof structure or  adequate  amount of trees for shade and fresh water with horse safe fencing is all you need.

  Thank you all for sending in your emails  for horse talk.
