I boarded retired horses for 10 years, mostly owned by women who were overly attached but didn't want to pay big board bills because they didn't ride any more. We had a contract that they had to pay so much per month, and were responsible for vet care, we had the right to call a vet if necessary and owner was responsible for all bills. There was NO riding allowed, and we had a liability policy. Board fees barely paid expenses of the lease , insurance, and hay. The only way I made any money at all was to keep them on pasture 24/7/355,(about 10 days in barn due to really bad weather), and only fed hay about 15 weeks in winter. This was not a fun job, I think I netted about 7 cents an hour,lol, and you were there EVERY DAY checking on the lawn ornaments, fooling with the water, moving them to fresh grass, etc., etc. Never was so happy to see them and the lease go. Only bright spot was I got a tractor out of the "profits"
