Well...after reading everyone else's posts I am so jealous as my mares are 
boarded being as I live in the city.

But, they are NOT pampered little full care ponies...I board at a self care 
place where everyone helps each other out if someone has to work late and 
needs help feeding.  Full care board NOR my own property are in the budget 
at this time (those darn kids like to EAT too much).

Our barn has about 15 acres of turnout and there are only 8 horses so it's a 
small family kind of place.  The horses are out during the day and at night 
they are in their stall/runs.  I really like this set up as my horses are 
seperated at feeding time (both are at the BOTTOM of the pecking order so 
this is important to me) and at night they can be inside or outside at their 
choosing.

Biggest downside is there is nothing but a really SMALL arena to ride in so 
I have to trailer out to do my conditioning.  Of course I don't have it TOO 
BAD as living in the Dallas / Fort Worth area I can go to at least 6 
different trail systems for a DAY RIDE and I most frequently go to Grapevine 
Lake or the LBJ Grasslands.

The owner of my barn lives on site and keeps a good eye on comings and 
goings so it's nice and secure and the other added benefit is if there's 
ever an injury at a ride, my mare WILL NOT freak out when the ambulance and 
careflite come screaming into camp or on the trail with sirens blaring as 
there's a fire station just down the street so those sounds are just part of 
their daily life....now cows....well those are aliens from another planet!
