I don't board my horses,
but I do have others as boarders. I charge $200/month and I'm pretty cheap
around here. I was wondering how anyone can afford the low prices y'all
are quoting, then I realized that y'all are having to supply your own feed and
care. I handle everything at my barn. Some of my boarders I never
even see, but once a month. I have a friend that has a 78 stall public
stable and she charges $360/month and guess what - she's the most inexpensive
stable in the area! (which is NW of Houston, BTW).

shoeing
I'm in North Carolina, about 30 minutes away from
Charlotte. I pay $100 for an 18 stall barn and pasture, I figure it costs me
about $160 each month by the time I buy feed ($30) and shavings ($30 for
bagged, or $30 in gas to go get them at the saw mill). Costs me $20 for a trim
$35 for setting shoes, my shoes cost $32.00 for all 4. I have miles of trail
outside my barn door, but I do have to take care of Star on my
own.
BTW, if anyone ever needs a layover near
Charlotte I've got plenty of stalls and some pasture space.
