Most people pay $400 on average here for outdoor or basic indoor board and I haven't been too or heard of a barn that has all of the amenitites you listed.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01736592362765508427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4874624063824272651.post-11333277848029097562010-08-19T10:51:05.312-04:002010-08-19T10:51:05.312-04:00Very awesome!!!

Huge stalls, gigantic pastures all manacured to the tea! All stainless steel waterers. Not a single drop of sawdust in isle ways and the barns were sooo beautiful I cannot even explain with even stained glass horse windows to die for!!! But put that on your bucket list. It's definalty worth the drive even for a weekend trip! Then go over to the KY horse park for some extra fun!Janinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14526076493821209436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4874624063824272651.post-2732703765193017712010-08-19T10:13:23.321-04:002010-08-19T10:13:23.321-04:00What a beautiful place.

Granted it's not as posh as that stunning center, but it's clean, safe and 5 minutes from my house (if anyone in the San Diego area is looking for affordable pasture board let me know! There is room for three more horses, large round pen, arena and trails). Maybe one day I'll be in a barn like that... just maybe!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4874624063824272651.post-29596993699863518932010-08-19T00:13:58.561-04:002010-08-19T00:13:58.561-04:00*whispers* Hey, everyone; if we get enough people ...*whispers* Hey, everyone; if we get enough people to gang up, we could overtake that place pirate-style! Lol. ;-) You know it's worth it!<br /><br />No, my barn definitely does NOT look anything like that. However, I have seen tons of drop-dead gorgeous facilities in Wellington and the accompanying Loxahatchee. I have a friend whose barn is in Loxahatchee and, while it's not quite as fancy as that place, it's reall, really nice (has been on the cover of Dressage Today because Jessica Tate rents it out for the winter). I think her board is about $1,2oo for full care (which includes grooming, tacking up, etc.).Frizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084225669041286128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4874624063824272651.post-61248858202488533882010-08-18T23:24:34.522-04:002010-08-18T23:24:34.522-04:00Sigh!!!!!!!

It reminds me of that section of James Herriot's Dog Stories when he describes how he imagines his life as a dog surgeon in a gleaming white surgery and then...how it really went...out with the cows, and horses and pigs in the rough country villages. I think I thought I would grow up and ride at a place like your photo essay...and instead...well my farm is muddy and mucky and...wonderful!juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17488138405040629084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4874624063824272651.post-37911836411435348212010-08-18T22:55:36.832-04:002010-08-18T22:55:36.832-04:00Wow, Seriously!

I loooooo...Wow, Seriously! I want to go to there!<br /><br />I looooooove the outdoor, with a sand track around grass. I long for a nice grass arena to work. And the indoor? With that balcony? Good lord...if I'm going to ride, I'm at the barn a MINIMUM of 2 hours, and that's with a 40 minute ride and rushing everything else. If Miles and I were at that estate, I might as well pitch a pup tent across the road because I would never leave:) Thanks for sharing!

I love it there! You know it is a fancy place when the clinicians who have been all over the world come in and say "WOW". And all of the horses get excellent care, which is of course the most important thing. Her barn only has 16 stalls though so it is a big difference! And the lounge in the indoor is way smaller. <br /><br />Oh, and I think I need move to somewhere else in the country because I don't think $950 for board with an indoor is bad at all! The going rate by me for any place with an indoor is $450 for turnout board and $900 for a stall. That is why my retired Gen is not at an indoor!OnTheBithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07688127613313016544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4874624063824272651.post-15836378622095388712010-08-18T21:03:14.734-04:002010-08-18T21:03:14.734-04:00To answer your last question . . . er no!

That place is absolutely gorgeous!! <br /><br />The prices make me choke in surprise, but I live down south and things are a lot cheaper here I guess because there is more space and more horses (a guess). Pasture board down here is about $300 a month and that's with a stall for feeding. <br /><br />I would definitely like to live there . . . um I mean board there. :D Thanks for sharing.Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4874624063824272651.post-18016062725798441462010-08-18T20:41:08.547-04:002010-08-18T20:41:08.547-04:00Ummm...

With full access it seems like it would cost much more. <br /><br />Wonder how many stalls I'd have to muck to get stall board down to about $400 per month? :)in2paintshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15721328264615241612noreply@blogger.com
