Re: [RC] not all boarding sucks - A. Perez

I have to second the sentiment that 'not all baording sucks'.
I am lucky that I can board my horse for less then it would 
cost for me to feed him at home, not to mention the expense of 
fencing and shelter.  He gets to run with a herd, something I
could not offer him if he were at home.  He has run of 40+ 
acres, which I could not afford. At our current house, we could 
only have a small paddock which would be reduced to a mud-pit 
in no time, meaning no grass, which my guy does really well on. 
Were we to move to an affordable horse property, my commute 
would be pure hell.  What really makes boarding better for me 
is that I am free to go away on weekends or vacation without 
having to find a horse-sitter.  If he were at home, any change 
in plans that kept me away at feeding time would be a major 
hassle, something my non-horsey husband would have little 
pateince with.  My boarding situation is far from ideal, but it 
is hands-down better then what I could provide at home.  AND I 
do not have to live my life around my horses schedule.
