How To Find Affordable Horse Boarding Available Locally

By Janine Hughes


Owning horses is a dream come true for many people. For many this has been a dream since childhood. Finally being in a position to afford their first horse is a really special moment. It is important to look around at some barns first to allow time to select just the right facility. There is a significant range of services available in each area and the costs also vary considerably.

It is usually quite easy to find a selection of barns that offers stalls for rent. Most owners looking for horse boarding available in their area will talk to other friends and owners. This simple strategy should produce a number of leads. Finding the right barn can take a little time and is not something that should be rushed into.

There are a wide range of facilities available, ranging from the most basic to some very fancy barns that have all the top of the line extras. This will include an indoor riding arena for winter or wet weather, wash stalls and heated areas to dry the animals in cold weather. Most show barns have to provide these features as the horses are going to be worked whatever the weather.

Horses must aways have access to clean, fresh water. Most bigger barns use automatic water systems to each stall. However a smaller barn may still rely on filling buckets several times each day. Both of these systems work as long as the barn staff stay vigilant and always keep a close eye on each and every horse to ensure that they are drinking enough.

A top facility will usually charge quite high rates. However, this covers a lot of things, such as hay, grain, stall cleaning and every day care for the animals. This will save the owner a lot of time and effort. Many people simply do not have the time to be at the barn two or three times a day to tend to their animals needs.

At the other end of the scale are some really really great barns with all the luxury features. The horses lead a very pampered life, the stalls are cleaned twice a day and they have only the highest quality hay and grain. Daily turn out is in individual well fenced paddocks.

Another bonus of a large facility is that everything is kept under one roof. This is very important in the winter. Walkways of the main aisle will take the horses and riders to the indoor arena. No one has to venture outside in cold or icy conditions.

One of the crucial factors when deciding on a boarding facility for horses is location. Most people like to keep their horses as close to home as possible. Less travel time means more time at the barn. For busy owners this can really be an important factor. It is well worth taking time and considering all the factors before making a final decision.
