Did you ask questions on your barn tour only to be shocked at the poor care your horse received after you moved him to the stable? Are you unsure of the proper questions to ask to ensure your horse is getting the best care possible? This book will teach you EVERYTHING about boarding stable practices and what to look out for. This book gives you very concise and systematic questions to ask regarding what your horse needs for optimal health & well-being and his specific personality. A boarding stable can look gorgeous on the outside, but it doesnt always mean the care is good - in fact, it might even be harmful to your horse. Some of the essential subjects addressed in this book are: What is the difference between a training barn and a boarding stable? Is the barn heated, and how does this affect my horse? Does the stable have an on-site trainer? Can I bring in my own trainer? What is the difference between full-care and partial care? What is outside board "rough board," and is it a good fit for my horse? What is included in daily care? How much hay and grain is included per day? Will my horse be turned out daily? If so, for how long and how many horses will be in his herd? Can you accommodate a horse with special needs? Do you offer blanketing? Is the barn heated? How will a heated barn affect my horse? Can I choose my own farrier, veterinarian, and trainer? How much bedding do you put in the stalls? Is the water heated in the wintertime? What are the vaccination and deworming requirements? PLUS, SO MUCH MORE! 157 questions in all! IT WILL NOT MATTER if you have the best trainer or the most expensive saddle and tack if your horse is stressed out due to his living conditions!! If he is not getting enough to eat or cant get to the hay because he is at the bottom of the pecking order in the herd, or is constantly being chased down, then lessons, training, and other activities will never be as good as they could be because he will not perform at his best. The horses living conditions are deeply connected to his mental well-being also, and your horse deserves the best care, and it begins with his home.
