How to Find the Perfect Place for Your Pony
101 Questions to Ask about Boarding Stables
by Elizabeth Gredley
ISBN 0968296610

If you answered YES to any of the questions, you'll want to read How to find the Perfect Place for Your Pony. Whether your "pony" is a 17 hand warmblood or an actual pony, here's an e-book to help you answer important questions:

• Is it time to buy your first horse?

• Should you keep your horse at home or board him out?

• What should you look for in a stable?

• How far do you want to drive?

• What's usually included in the boarding fee?

• Do you really need an indoor arena?

Finding the right boarding stable is a challenge faced by most riders at some stage in their careers. For novice horse owners, or longtime horse people new to the world of boarding stables, knowing what to look for is not as simple as it seems.

The first time people decide to board a horse away from home, many don't know what to look for. They go to the cheapest or closest stable, take a quick look and move their horse in without asking the right questions. A few weeks down the road, they're unhappy, perhaps their horse is injured and they are soured on the whole boarding stable experience.

I wrote this book to help horse owners (or their parents) new to the world of boarding stables, to assess a stable before they sign the boarding contract. As a reader said, this book raises the 101 questions you learn to ask through experience. It's also good information to have before you buy your first horse.

My hope is that this book will help you find a stable where you and your horse can enjoy each other's companionship and the wonderful sport of riding in a worry-free environment.

How to Find the Perfect Place for Your Pony guides you through the process of finding and assessing a boarding stable in 85 information-packed pages. It also has a chapter on buying a first horse.

Written in an easy-to-read style, it will

• help you decide what kind of boarding arrangement is best for you and your horse
• help you check out the barn, riding facilities, and horse-care routines
• guide you to think about other less obvious aspects which can seriously affect the quality of a boarding experience, and
• if you don't yet own a horse, lead you through that process as well.
