Proving again that the truth is stranger than fiction...
I’ll be picking out a specific case out of the hundreds
I’ve worked on in the past years and give you a brief
rendition of the facts and outcome. And, I may cover pertinent equine related topics.
Taking advantage of situations that have occurred to others may lead
you to say things to yourself like, “Boy I’m glad
that didn’t happen to me!” Anyway, for sheer entertainment
value, you’ll like them.

NAES BLOG - October 2018
When looking for your horse’s next stable, there are obviously many items to consider such as cleanliness and whether or not you feel it “seems” to be a good facility for your horse and you.
It’s always a good idea to trust in your intuition to help in the decision whether or not to make the change to a new stable. So it’s not just how beautiful the new stable is, but if it seems right for you… not just your horse.
If possible, always try and meet as many current boarders as possible and spend lots of time with them and note little discrepancies between the current boarders you may have already spoken to. Now is the time to figure out if you’re speaking with “the stable’s trouble maker,” or if there really are problems that more than one person has revealed to you.
Finding out if the people you have spoken to have to buy more feed for their horse because he has dropped weight, sure would be an item to take into account before moving your horse.
You may also wish to find out before settling in if the stable has a trainer who would be good for you and your new horse. The fact that the resident trainer is the primary reason for changing barns necessitates your finding out exactly how his training horses are treated may be an item you need to look into.
Just because you have seen the new stable’s trainer win at horse shows you’ve attended, perhaps was the main reason for going to the new facility, But you may find out the trainer’s home techniques are horrible, so finding out those problem areas beforehand sure could save big bucks down the road.

When purchasing your new horse with the aid of an agent or your trainer, always make sure you ask any questions that pop into your head.
Thinking of an important question after you just paid a lot of money is obviously way too late, and the answer perhaps would have negated the entire sale. |
