For boarding, I cannot begin to genuinely say how well everything is taken care of, and how much effort is put into the facility and each animal.

From a Google review

The stable's website says so too.

Choosing a boarding barn in Ames

  1. Visit more than one barn. Go at different times of day, and watch a feeding if you can.
  2. Ask what the board includes. Full, partial, self-care or pasture board: who feeds, who cleans stalls, who handles turnout. Get it in writing.
  3. Check the basics. Clean water, sound fencing and gates, stalls with clean bedding, and the condition of the horses already there.
  4. Ask about care. The feed program, which vets and farriers come out, and who calls you in an emergency.
  5. Read the contract at home. What is included and extra, the notice to leave, rules for outside trainers, and the liability terms.
