[RC] boarding stable - Alice YovichI board my three horses at a barn with mostly dressage riders who will take an occasional recreational trail ride (at a walk)with me. We all feed our own grain and supplements and I've never known any problem with anyone stealing feed or supplements. I liked what you said about putting up the hay before the winter. I want to do this myself, but we have one person who lives paycheck to paycheck and even if we had the space to put up that much hay, she wouldn't have the money to pay for her own portion. We do have some barn money from the full care boarders (we're mostly a coop) and she would like to see that money grow so that the barn could purchase the hay in a large quantity, but she wouldn't have to cough it up alone...I resist this (and I'm the treasurer) b/c my horses don't eat the barn's square bales and if we keep the money in the "barn fund" it doesn't end up paying our lease and we end up actually paying more board so she doens't have to pay her own hay money up front...anyway, I would love to be able to buy 500 bales of hay or so at the beginning of the season instead of being stuck buying it now when it's expensive in a drought year. www.equithreads.com Alice, Peter and Maggie Region 4, Texas =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
