“Oh give me a home…”

On a recent drive I came across one of the most lovely horse-boarding centres I’ve seen in years. Tucked neatly away on a country side road but within a fifteen-minute drive to the city, this equine paradise had everything I could want for my horse… room to roam, shade, lots of lush green grass, large level paddocks, trails along with an outdoor and indoor exercise ring.

The horses being boarded there were very healthy looking and relaxed. While the cost for this superb boarding stables equalled the household costs for a normal family of three, they were not without merit. Compared to every other stable I’d seen in years, this was horse heaven… wouldn’t have minded bunking in myself actually.
