Absolutely! By the time costs are considered for hay, grain, bedding, labor for feeding, cleaning stalls, doing turnout, etc. the board fees typically do not leave a lot left over.

I agree. A riding stable business can be a fairly profitable venture if it is properly planned and managed.

A horse is assigned a stall and you’re given access to trails, a pasture, or an arena. The cost of boarding averages $400 to $500 per month but can go as high as $1,200 to $2,500 in metropolitan areas. Services such as mucking out stalls, feeding, and turning out your horse to pasture may not be included in the price.

My question is about the insurance. What kind of insurance do people that run a small boarding facility get?

I took care of a gals 4 horses, from the goodness of my heart. She brought the hay, but her horses cribbed right through my medal gates, and she figured she should not have to pay for them. Paid for two, and still has not paid for the other 8.
I would never do it again!!
