I've been a boarder, like, forever. Sin...Sigh. I've been a boarder, like, forever. Single. Old. (Well, not always, but old NOW), and most places have been fine. There's been one or two wackos on occasion, but over-all, not a problem. I've been where I am now, and there are some issues, but it's not the boarders, and as far as the barn owners are concerned, it is what it is. The board is low for the area (San Francisco Bay Area!). There is a covered arena. BO's don't ride at night, so it is dimly lit, but rideable. The footing is less than ideal, but not dangerous or harmful to the horses. The main bitch over the years is 'Damn it, the board is going up again, but nothing has been improved." But, y'know, we're in a drought, and hay prices........On the other hand, you know damn well that at this point they have no mortgage payments, they've been there so long. One thing I've always loved about the place is the marvelous trail access (v. close to a huge state park), but now I have a horse that is manic on the trails and just.not.a.pleasant.ride.on.the.trail. He's 10 now, and no amount of schooling/exposure/cowboys, etc. has made him better, so we don't trail ride much. The ONE wacko we did have neatly phased herself out by breeding her mare, and when it had a colt, she was asked to leave when it was a yearling and she declined to geld it. "No stallions," said the BOs, and all the rest of us said, "Whew!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4571933866625297210.post-55112810179163886442012-08-12T02:21:52.352-04:002012-08-12T02:21:52.352-04:00I've been at my barn for a couple of weeks now...I've been at my barn for a couple of weeks now, and judging by the standards of the area I live in, it's almost 5 Star. In an area where acres of barbed wired fence and no shelter are the norm, I've got safe fencing and a dentist/chiro that is scheduled to come every month for the boarders use. It's mostly Western riders. I do my own feeding (because I'm a micro-managing ninny), but any tasks I've asked for (like removing a flymask) are always done. I've also witnessed the good care they take of the horses requiring more work. <br /><br />I feel blessed and like you DC, I ALWAYS pay my board on time! :)Reneehttp://www.facebook.com/UltimateStormLARigsby?ref=hlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4571933866625297210.post-48348625019190491092012-04-20T20:08:06.858-04:002012-04-20T20:08:06.858-04:00so check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...so check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLcO5zxJSYQ<br />barn in our area for sale :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4571933866625297210.post-61181849629010030342012-03-22T17:12:58.431-04:002012-03-22T17:12:58.431-04:00Regarding the original topic of your post: I have ...Regarding the original topic of your post: I have never been a boarder, only lessoned at various boarding barns, and just from the sidelines... whoooo, yes, indeedy there are some "interesting" folks on both sides of the equation out there. <br /><br />My all-time favorite is the lady who was my trainer/BO when I was a teenager. Only person I've ever known who was at least partially supported via the grace and favor of several married men (not at the same time, they were at least consecutive). Of course I did not fully realize this was the arrangement at the time, but looking back, all is clear. <br /><br />You may well ask, was this woman Pamela Anderson in breeches? No, faaaar from it. To this day I fail to see the attractions that ensnared the gentlemen. There must have been SOMETHING, though, since before the married dudes came along IIRC Trainer had also managed to be married twice, resulting in three (also interesting) children.<br /><br />Let's all intone together, "AND NOW for today's episode of....

He'd be off the market by Day 2, guaranteed, and with any luck he'd pick a trust fund chickie who would think nothing of fully supporting her doting MIL's horse habit.

There does seem to be an overpopulation of both down here in South FL. I have my own theories about the situation: http://waitingforthejump.blogspot.com/2011/10/gotta-love-south-florida.html<br /><br />Just last night, a fellow boarder called me to let me know that the paddock my mare was turned out in had been left open. My mare was still in her paddock, and he had shut the gate when he noticed. She never got out, never got into anyone's hay nor grain, didn't damage property; all was fine. I thanked him for shutting the gate and letting me know. He proceeded to start screaming at me because I wasn't upset about what had happened. He actually said I'm a bad horse owner because I wasn't worried about my own horse. Why would I be worried? Nothing had happened. Wtf??? To Anonymous above-yep, this was a GUY. A 52-year-old trail-riding guy. I don't think there are exceptions to the rule when it comes to being a nutty horse person-the women seem to be worse simply because there are more horsewomen than horsemen. My husband insists that we're all crazy, just some of us more so than others. <br /><br />I knew a barn manager that would destroy all of your property and steal your tack as soon as you gave 30 days notice that you were moving to a different barn. It didn't matter whether you were a good boarder or not. And then she became upset when people would just disappear off of her property. Gee, I wonder why?<br /><br />I hope to someday be able to keep my horse on my own property like some of you, and not have to deal with the bs anymore.Nicole Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09817619834026667737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4571933866625297210.post-24146862835653865202012-03-20T13:13:05.365-04:002012-03-20T13:13:05.365-04:00OOOOO, don't get me started!
