How to Find Trouble Free Horse Boarding Even if You Are New to Horses: What You Must Know, Ask, and Look for when Searching for That Happy, Safe and Healthy Home for Your Horse and a Fun Place for You

For many of us, owning our own horse is the ultimate dream. But, unfortunately, most of us don't have the luxury of keeping our horses at home and have to rely on the services offered by a horse boarding stable.

Choosing the right home away from home for your horse can be a daunting process. Do you really know what your horse needs to be happy, safe and healthy?

The past 10 years have taken Ronaye Ireland on a very unique journey few of us will ever experience. She's gone from being the uninformed boarder and new horse owner to designing and constructing her own boarding facility and running the business.

Her horse boarding stable is living proof of what works. And in this book she shares her insights and lessons learned so you don't have to learn through trial and error and the expensive vet bills so many of us experience unnecessarily.
