6 or so months ago I was in a very similar position. We have a pasture and stables behind our house that we weren't using so we decided to board horses. I knew very little about horses, I'd been around them a little before, but I never really knew much about their care. In the past 6 months I've learned quite a lot and we really enjoy having the horses here. I hope you enjoy having a horse on your property as much as we do.
