If you are in a situation where you have to board your horses at a boarding stable, you need to know how to go about choosing the best one. Below are some tips on how to determine where to board your horses so that you can be sure they are in good hands at all times:

  • When you use a boarding stable, you have to work out an agreement with the stable owner on where your horses will be kept, what exactly they will be fed, how emergencies will be handled, etc. Make certain that the owner of the stable has your contact information and can get in touch with you in case a problem arises.
  • If you live in an urban area and have to board your horses full time, you need to make an effort to see the animals several days a week and also ride them frequently. Checking on the welfare of your horses regularly is a requirement for any responsible owner. You want to make sure your horses stay healthy, so draw up a strict diet that the stable owner must abide by. Consult your vet prior to a major change in diet and make certain all your horses are up to date on their shots.
  • If you are boarding your horses with a caretaker, take time to look around at the other animals on the property. Are they well cared for? If you have your doubts, don't leave your horses in the care of that person. You should also make sure you are welcome to visit your horses any time you choose.
  • Make sure the place your horses are being boarded at is convenient to you. You want to have easy access to visit your horses during your free time, so don't board them at an inconvenient location that will prevent you from seeing them regularly.

These are all important considerations to take into account when you are boarding your horse. Remember to treat your horses like your children when making this decision and everything will turn out just fine. If you are in a position where you can no longer care for the horses and can't make the time to visit them at a boarding stable or at a caretaker's farm, then it's time to find them a new, loving owner who can give them the requisite amount of attention and care.
