Partial-Care: The own does part of the daily care chores but the other half is done by barn staff.3. Full-Care: The barn staff does all of the work and typically provides all of the feed and bedding whereas Self care does not typically provide feed.4.

There are a number of factors that affect the answer to this question. If the field is actual pasture consisting of a good guality grass such as fescue or bermuda, a horse may not require any supplementation. There are some grasses that are toxic during certain periods of the year. Another factor is the metabolism of the horse in question. Some horses are what's referred to as "easy keepers". In other words they do well on a minmal diet of grass. Some horses, ususally the hotter breeds such as Thoroughbreds and Arabians, will require supplementation. The last factor would be the work load of the horse. A horse getting worked on a regular basis has higher nutritional needs than one only ridden occasionally.

Horse boarding fees can vary greatly. Stalls or stalls with adjoining paddocks cost more than just pasture boarding. Some stables feed (they provide hay), 1,2,or 3 times a day. If you want your horse fed 3 times a day it will cost more. If your horse is in a stall, does the stable offer turn-out? That can cost extra because someone has to take your horse out of his stall to pasture then bring him back in at the end of the day. All of these things are extra. Another factor is who is responsible for stall cleaning? If you don't clean your own stalls that will cost you extra too. There are a lot of things to think about when boarding your horse. So 475 a month may be a reasonable boarding fee. The best way to find out is check around your area. Call some stables or drop by for a visit if the encourage visitors. It is also a good way to see for yourself if they run a 'tight ship'. Is it clean and well organized? Do the horses look healthy and happy. If other boarders are around ask questions. See if they are happy with the service at that particular stable. Remember, you can't ask too many questions when it concerns your horse.
It depends on boarding place and condition. If it is high end prices can sky rocket, but yes normal stall board in my area runs 300.00 a month. Pasture Board runs 125.00-150.00 (Prices may also be negotiable.)
