Types of horse boarding
Barns use these names in different ways, so ask each one what its board includes. We don't list prices; ask the barn.
Full board
The barn handles the daily care: feeding, water, turnout and bringing in, and cleaning the stall. Many full-board barns also hold horses for the vet and farrier. Ask exactly what is included and what is extra.
Partial board
You share the work. The barn does some of it, often the feeding, and you do the rest, such as stalls or turnout. The split differs from barn to barn, so get it in writing.
Self-care board
You rent a stall or paddock and do the daily care yourself, often with your own feed and bedding. It takes the most time, and you need a plan for the days you can't get to the barn.
Pasture board
Your horse lives out in a field, usually with other horses and a run-in shed or other shelter, instead of in a stall. Ask about shelter, water, and hay when the grass is short.
Training board
Board plus regular rides or lessons with the barn's trainer. Ask how often your horse is ridden, by whom, and how you'll hear how it is going.
What to check on a barn visit
- Stalls
- Room for your horse to turn and lie down, clean, dry bedding, fresh air, and no broken boards, nails or sharp edges. Ask how often stalls are cleaned.
- Turnout
- How many hours a day, alone or in a group, how groups are matched, and what happens in bad weather.
- Fencing
- Solid, well-kept fence lines and gates that latch. Look for loose boards, sagging wire and anything a horse could catch a leg in.
- Water
- Clean water in every stall and field. Ask how it is kept from freezing in winter and how often tanks are scrubbed.
- Feed program
- What hay and grain the barn feeds, how many times a day, who does it, and whether you can bring your own feed or supplements.
- Arena and trails
- An indoor or outdoor arena, the footing, lights for winter evenings, and access to trails. Ask when the arena is busy with lessons.
- Vet and farrier
- Which vets and farriers come to the barn, whether staff hold horses for them, and who calls you in an emergency at night.
- Contract terms
- What board includes and what is extra, the notice to leave, rules for outside trainers, and the barn's liability terms.
- Health records
- Many barns ask for vaccination records and a recent negative Coggins test before a horse moves in. Ask what they need.
- People
- Who is on site, who checks the horses at night, and how the barn manager keeps owners up to date.

Horse boarding questions
- What is the difference between full board and partial board?
- With full board, the barn does the daily care: feeding, water, turnout and stall cleaning. With partial board, you share those jobs with the barn. What each covers varies from barn to barn, so get the details in writing.
- What is pasture board?
- Your horse lives out in a field, usually in a group with shelter such as a run-in shed, instead of in a stall. Ask how the barn handles hay, water and shelter in winter.
- What is self-care board?
- You rent a stall or paddock and do the daily care yourself. Ask what the barn provides, such as water and turnout, and what you bring.
- What should I look for when I visit a boarding barn?
- Clean water and sound fencing, stalls with clean bedding, the condition of the horses already there, the feed program, turnout, and how the barn handles vets, farriers and emergencies. Read the contract at home before you sign.
- What should be in a horse boarding contract?
- What board includes and what costs extra, the notice to leave, who may ride or train your horse, rules for outside vets, farriers and trainers, and the liability terms. Ask about anything unclear before you sign.
- How do I find horse boarding near me?
- Use the map or the state list on this page. Every stable here boards horses, per its own website or a customer review. Openings change, so call to ask about space before you visit.
