Horse Boarding Recommendations

[Anonymous]

I have a relative moving to the DMV and she needs somewhere to board her horse. The horse is more or less retired, so no need for a nice ring, lessons, etc. She may want to do occasional trail rides. Ideally, the barn would be within ~45 minutes of College Park. I think she'd be fine with a run-in but would need someone to feed, blanket, etc. Any suggestions? What's the average cost around here for full board? Is there a better message board to ask on?

Try posting in real estate or off topic. There are some horse people who sometime chime in.

Go to Chronicle of the Horse Forums for this question, OP.

Obviously I can Google, but I was hoping for some more recommendations beyond that.

Thank you to the person who recommended the forums on chronical of the horse!
