In Reply to: Anyone board horses? posted by Morgan in ar on August 20, 2020 at 17:19:56:
when we moved in the farm we live at now,which has a 40x60 barn with 9 seperate 10x10 stalls,we had really considered boarding horses to make some extra money.BUT after looking far into it,you need A LOT of insurance,and as you know,people who board their horses are a special kind of picky, so they want rubber mats everywhere,feed buckets at right height,obviously they will expect you to supply the finest hay,then theirs farriers, and dentists, and vets.(still can't believe their are horse dentists).I know you just plan on renting out stalls,but "them city folk" will expect all this and much, much more,not to mention WHO WILL CLEAN THE STALLS DAILY.and as Old said below,they won't be their everyday to take care of them,because that's inconvenient for the owners.they just want the pleasure of riding every couple of weeks so they can take a picture of them riding a horse to show their friends..there are many less stressful ways to make pocket money,and I personally think that unless you plan on running a full blown horse board/care facility their is really no practical way to do it unless renting to a good neighbor/friend.that is just my opinion.I don't mean to be a nay sayer,but i think you are cutting yourself short with horses,or will be when you get handed the bills.if you have the property,i would check out raising steer,or feeder pigs,maybe even a tree nursery.just a couple of ideas.

Today's Featured Article - Madison's County - by Anthony West. Philip Madison has been a good friend of mine for quite some time. He has patiently suffered my incessant chit chat on the subject of tractors for longer than I care to remember, and on many occasions he has put himself out, dropped what ever it was he was doing, to come and lend a hand cranking handles, or loading a find onto a trailer. Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
