Before you move your horse
- Ask what the board includes. Full, partial, self-care or pasture board mean different things at different barns. Get the details in writing.
- Walk the barn. Check stalls, water, fencing and turnout, and look at the horses already there.
- Ask about the feed program, vet and farrier. Who feeds, what, and how often; who comes out, and who calls you in an emergency.
- Compare. With 219 stables that board horses in Illinois, visit more than one before you sign a contract.
