Re: [RC] boarding rules - Carol Suggs

Thats why I said in my #5 "special circumstances and you have been made
aware of it ahead of time"  (Ie:  coming in late ect)

I do have to agree with you, I would never want my horses to be at a place
that put restrictions on my time, but I don't have to worry about that
because my horses are kept at home.

I have seen many folks have trouble with stabling problems and mostly it is
because stuff was not spelled out ahead of time.  Just make sure everyone
knows the rules... thats really all I was trying to say.

Hi Carol, I have boarded my horses for about 12 years, up until recently,

and

would never board at a place that limited the hours I could come.  I have
boarded at places that limited the hours the gate was open, but every

boarder was

given a key if they wanted it, and it was understood that you could come

and

go as you pleased, as long as you weren't disruptive.  As a former and

hope to

be again endurance rider, I would hate to think that if I pulled home from

a

ride, and got back after 11:00PM, I  couldn't put my horse in it's living
space.  It has happened to me, and the owner's biggest problem was that I

tried to

be polite, and pulled around back, but he couldn't see who was out there

from

his window, so he got up and came out.  He told me, just pull up and

unload

where you normally do, so I don't have to worry about who's out there.

Also

there was the time after foaling when my mare colicked, had the vet out at
11:30PM and I hand walked her until 12:30PM, because it was my first baby,

and I

was a panicky grandma.

Of course each situation is different, and some people are going to have
rules about hours, and lots of boarders are okay with that.  Just offering

a

different point of view.  The most important thing about a boarding

contract is

that it suits the two parties involved, and covers the issues that are

important

to them, and may become legal issues if not addressed up front.  JMHO

jeri
