The hay is good, I provide my own grain on pasture board, indoor arena and direct access to trails in Water Works are my favorite parts to this place!

Choosing a boarding barn in Des Moines

  1. Visit both barns. 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.
