[quote=Anonymous]I'd like to add the prices quoted here sound excessive. It's not $50K/year to board horses for the majority of facilities. The main thing is they need a significant amount of ongoing care. Farrier visits are regular. Annual dentals. Veterinary care is not inexpensive when they get sick. They need a series of vaccines twice a year. For feed they need horse grains and hay in additional to grazing, with plenty of horses needing various nutritional supplements. They need to be groomed. If they have a stall you need to muck out the stall on the regular. They need a high quality winter blanket especially if they're field kept. As far as picking a barn if you choose to board, keep your eyes open when checking out facilities. Some horse people (but not all horse people) are drama llamas. The drama llamas can spoil all the fun out of the sport, so be aware if you prefer a low key environment.[/quote]
