    Hi!
    
   Just was looking through the notes and noticed that you live in Sudbury!
    I graduated from LSRHS in '78!  I live in Clover, SC now (work in
    Charlotte, NC).  We have a barn and two horses, and was wondering
    what the going rate would be to board. It seems that things are
    cheaper down here, surprized?  In the city of Charlotte, full board
    can range from $100-200 per month.  Out in the sticks where I live,
    most folks tend to charge $80-90 per month for full board.  We have
    yet to figure out exactly how much is costs us to feed our two.
    When we do I guess we'll set our price and advertise.
    
    See you around in the notes,

    Hi Sarah!
    
    You could try Freewinds Farm in Brookline, NH.  Laurie MacDonald
    is the owner.  603-673-7040 or 603-673-4387.  Brookline is right
    over the border from Lunenburg/Townsend, MA.  Great dirt roads &
    trails.
    
    Laurie is very nice and I think the board is reasonable considering
    there's an indoor ring.

    L&S Training Farm 
    Leonard & Noella LeBlanc
    Gardner, Mass.  0l440
    Tel 508-632-7537
    
    This is at the current time mainly a Standardbred Training Farm.
    Due to the shutdown of Foxboro which has cramped harness racing
    in this area, the owners are partially converting to a boarding
    facility.  
    
    There are two barns.  A new barn with 12x12 box stalls, sliding
    doors, metal columns on partitions and doors.  Running water,
    and electricity.  Full board includes turnout, morning/night feed,
    shavings, hay and grain, and stablework.  $200.00 month.
    
    The second barn is older, with smaller stalls, running water
    and electricity.  I believe full-board boarders will get stalls
    in the new barn.
    
    There is one main pasture for mares, geldings and youngsters.
    There are smaller pastures and fields for stallions, youngsters,
    and racehorses.
    
    There is a riding-ring but the fence will have to be replaced in
    the spring.  There is also a 1/2 mile training track that is
    graded almost daily.                 
    
    At this time, the majority of horses are race horses and horses
    in training.  There are also a couple of riding horses and quite
    a few broodmares.

    Mendon is close to Franklin, Marlborough and Shrewsbury plants.
     Also has several riding schools in town along with an indoor riding
    area.

Note 863.0                 Stable near Leominster,Ma.?                 3 replies

    I have a friend who is looking in the Leominster area (or 15 - 20
    minutes away) for a stable. She lives in the Rt 12/ Rt. 190 area and
    up to now, has been driving down to Grafton where her horse is boarded.
    
    She has done some investigating of the nearby stables but have found
    most of them to be higher than she wanted to pay (max $250/month
    including board, stall cleaning, and feeding). Currently, her horse
    has rough board - no stall, and she wouldn't mind continuing that
    mode in order to save money.
    
    Her priorities are:
    	- good, fairly large turnout areas/paddocks.
        - outdoor ring with some jumps
        - an instructor
        - max price $250/month
        - close to trails 
    
    She would like an indoor ring but realizes that she probably won't be
    able to afford it. Another thing she would want is a barn that has
    some adult riders especially riding english.
    
    Is this impossible to find for the Leominster area?
    				Cindy

    Have you tried Miles End Farm in Sterling?  Not sure what the prices
    are.  The number is under Barbara Miles, Sterling.
    Also there is a woman named Patty Peso (?); she is also in Sterling.
    If you are interested I will try and get her number for you.
    
    Good luck.

    I boarded my horse with Pat Peeso.  She's real good with the horses.
    I don't know what her board is now.  She just moved her farm within
    the past year.  When I was with her I believe it was $185 full board
    (cleaning stalls, turning out, feeding).  I don't know where she
    is now but when she was in Princeton, she had two outdoor rings
    and miles and miles of trails.  I really enjoyed keeping my horse
    there with her but unfortunately money problems forced me to sell
    him.

    If money is such a large factor,  would she be willing to forego
    the on site instructor?  I board in Holden right off 190 (Malden
    Street) for only $150.00.  The barn is limited to geldings (owner's
    preference because of a previous problem with mares long before
    I started there).  There is a lighted outdoor ring,  large pasture,
    daily turnout and great care.   If interested,  I'll get the number.

10x12 box stall with Dutch-door turn-out to paddock.  grained morning & evening,
Hayed several time a day,  Lighted outdoor ring.  Excellent trails right out
of our property!  Trailering to shows available.  This is a private, quiet,
5-stall barn (only 3 stall rented) that offers lots of T.L.C..
Located on the Townsend/Ashb line right off of Route 119 and Route 31.

                       ___________________________________


	Located in Harvard, MA.  Just minutes from Routes 2, 110, 119,

	and 495.  Minutes from LKG, LTN, LJO, TAY, AKO, etc. facilities.


	Large, privately owned barn with (2) 12x12 box stalls, hay loft,

	tack room, attached to ~ 2 acre pasture with more available.

	Has lights and water.  Lots of trails near by.


	Owned by very nice (but) non-horse oriented folks.


                          Rough board - ONLY
                          __________________

	
	You would be required to buy your own hay, grain, etc
	as well as perform all usual barn/horse related chores.	


        The folks who own the property want to keep the barn
	occupied with 2 or 3 horses maximum.  Even though there
	are a total of (4) 12x12 stalls.  The quality of the horse
	owner(s) ie: their *love* and care of their animals is
	far more important than just renting the barn.


	We have been renting this barn for over 1 year now.  Please
	feel free to contact me at DTN: 226-5633 or DELNI::CSILVA
	If you'd like more details.  Personally, if it wasn't for
	the fact that we *finally* bought our own home (and barn)
	this place wouldn't be available now!

 
	The property owners are a young couple with 3 very small children.
	They DO NOT allow their children or children of their guests to
	play in or around the barn.  They really are just good, honest folks.
    
    
	I will not receive (nor do I expect) any pay back for entering this ad
	for them.  I'm just hoping to assist them in locating a qualified
	horse loving boarder/renter for their barn.  

	
	Call them directly if you prefer.  Richard and Angela Blinn

	drive by this passed weekend and there where horses in the fields.
	There are also a network of trails out in the forest.

    Also, Judy Leach at Cross Stone Farm in Lancaster takes boarders.
    She does not offer rough board but does offer pasture board for
    less money than for a box stall.  (I have two of my horses there;
    one in a stall and one outside)  There are two nice big fields with
    big run-in sheds so they can get out of the weather (even though they
    rarely choose to).
    
    You can call Judy at 508.534.0644 (house) or 508.534.1455 (office).
    Be sure you tell her that you got the number from me!

    I have yet another barn to toot my horn about:

    Haverhill, MA 01830
    Owner/Manager:  Cynthia Sheltry
    Phone:  (508) 373-2846
    
    I keep my half Arab here and really, really like the place.
    The barn is located 2.2 miles from route 495 (right behind Northern
    Essex Community College).  It houses approximately 35-40 horses.
    The barn consists of an indoor ring with 10 x 12 stalls attached, along
    with an outdoor ring and turnout pastures.  It is back to back with
    Winniekenny Park (which has a castle overlooking Kenoza Lake) which
    has great, I mean wide, smooth trails!  
    
    Cyndy raises Quarter Horses and has a few youngsters in training now.
    She used to be heavy into Reining horses.  Now she has a nice mix
    of boarders with the majority riding English.  She charges 225.00 for
    full board which includes daily turnout, feeding & watering and stall     
    cleaning (mine seems to always be spotless).  She is willing to work
    out rough board arrangements as neccessary.  
    
    Everyone seems as happy as me with this barn.  Now I can't wait for
    spring to hit those trails again!
    
    Oh yeah, I believe as of this date she has 2 or 3 stalls available.
    
    Please contact Cyndy for further info.  I am a Temp here at DEC, so
    please feel free to respond to me on the notes file.  Since I am
    borrowing this account, do not send me a mail message.

    I am looking for pasture board for my yearling filly for the
    summer.  I would prefer an in and out situation, though stalls
    at night are okay.  The time frame would run from about mid-May
    to mid-Sep, give or take a couple of weeks.  She's extremely
    well behaved, easy to handle, and is dying for some playmates!
    I can't turn her out with her mother at my house because her
    mother kicks.  Please send mail to DELNI::KEIRAN if you have
    this kind of situation available or know of one.
    
    Thanks,

    This is kind of late, but Pat Peso charges $250/month.  I was there
    last fall and she didn't have any stalls available, although she was
    thinking one might come available eventually.  Also, her ring isn't
    lighted and she plans NOT to light it.  Her reason, to me, was that she
    wants everybody off the place by 5pm.
    
    Miles End Farm was $350/month the last time I stopped by (a couple
    years ago).
    
    There is a morgan farm in Fitchburg called Buck Hill Farm.  I don't
    know anything else about that place.

    
    2 Stalls for available immeditly in Berlin Mass right off of rt62
    the board is 60.00 a month.  You do all your own work and buy all
    your own hay/grain/shavings and take care of your own trash.  
    
    the barn is set on 4 acres of pasture and lots and lots of trails
    the stalls are wood floors.  I am currently boarding my horse there

     Two box stalls currently available at $225.00 p/month FULL board. 
    This is a small private barn that provides individual care, daily turnout,
    VERY clean stalls and VERY clean turnouts.  The paddocks are a bit
    small but each horse takes their turn in the "field" for purposes
    of exercise.  There is an outdoor ring that has lights for nighttime
    riding.  Miles and miles of trails all around the neighborhood.

	P.S.  I've boarded with Phil & Elaine for a couple of years now and

	    as nice!  Feel free to question me... ;-)
	

My wife Ann has a nice Morgan which she's been stabling in Duxbury, MA. We've
been trying to find a stable in Stow. MA where we live so she can have easier
and more frequent access. 

I've got two questions. 1) Anyone know of good, affordable stables in Stow?
			2) What kind of publications list stall openings? 

    I believe Red Acre Farm (Mitch Steege) is in Stow, MA.  He is
    hunter/jumper-oriented, and I don't know the board rates.  
    
    A good source of info for stalls in the area would be the Equine
    Exchange, a free newsletter you should be able to pick up at
    tack shops (like Dover Saddlery in Wellesley).  Also, Dover would have
    listings on the bulletin board of stalls available in the area.

    for the morning feeding because I commute to Boston by train.  If
    you have a stall or know someone that would be interested, please

    Hi,
    
    I have been riding my friends horse for about 4 years now.  I have
    been the only one riding her since she was 2.  She is kept at my
    friends barn in Townsend.  However, I live in Lowell and since I
    am going to school 2 nights a week it is becoming more and more
    difficult to get up to the barn to ride.  It is at least a 45 min.
    drive.  That's 1 1/2 that I have to spend on the road.  I am thinking
    about moving her somewhere closer to me.  I am really get depressed
    because I can not ride as much as I would like to.  My friend doesn't
    have a problem with me moving her because she wants her to get the
    attention she deserves.
    
    Does anyone know of anywhere I could board in the Lowell area? 
    ie; Dracut, Billerica, Chelmsford etc?  Unfortunatly I can not afford
    much, right now I don't have to pay for anything.  But I am willing
    to work (stalls, feed, etc) to keep the cost down.  I think a small
    barn might be best, I know the large farms usually charge around
    $300 a month.  Thats too high for me!!
    
    Any ideas would be great.  I really want to get her closer to home
    I miss her terribly!!
    
    Thanks,
    
    Andrea

    There used to be a place in W. Chelmsford called Sunny Meadow Farm. 
    I'll have to look at a map to remember which road its on.  All I can
    visualize is driving to the rotary, making the 1st right off of it (I
    think the one before the route 4 turn off), driving about 1-2 miles and
    seeing it on the right.  I boarded there when I lived in Lowell.  it
    was about 8 miles, but a longish ride due to the Chelmsford traffic.

Andrea,

There's a barn in Dracut called Cutter Farm. It is run by someone named Marina
Kokinos who took back her maiden name, but I can't remember what it is.

I know nothing of the care or anything else. I saw the barn once a few years
ago and it seemed nice, but that was basically just walking through it...

I do know that Marina was doing fabulous in combined training the past few
years on a horse named Synergy so she must have some sort of ring/trails/etc.

What about Bedford? There's a barn there named Huckins Farm which also
seems nice...

I don't know that board at either place...

Good luck!

    Huckins Farm, Bedford, manager: Maria Murphy.
    	Excellent care, lots of turn out, outdoor sand ring.  $300/month
        (but it runs over that most months because of extra for 
         barn-wide worming, teeth floating, "Bedford Animal tax"...)
    

  Hello -

   I am looking for a place to board a 1 1/2 year old filly.

   She is extremely well mannered and needs to be moved due to her being 
   beat up by some of the other horses she is pastured with.  Her owner
   is looking for a place in the Fitchburg area ie: Ashby, Lunenburg, 
   Shirley, Harvard, etc with a nice box stall and turn out to pasture 
   either alone, or with a pony or passive horse that won't bully her.

   If you know of anyone/anyplace that could accomodate her, please reply.

   Thanks,

   Simone

    I am wondering if anyone has ever heard of Mizpah Stable in Derry,
    NH?? I have seen it advertised in the Pedlar as having an indoor
    arena, all day turnout, and a good rate. This would be a good situation
    for our TB as my brother has recently relocated to Manchester and
    I live in Weare NH. The horse is currently available for lease but
    we haven't had much luck and are interested in moving him to somewhere
    more accessible than where he currently is. Has anyone had any
    experience with this place??
    
    Thanks,
    
    Linda
    

    
    Linda,
    
    I visited Mizpah Once, the horse I trained lives there now... Phil!
    Anyway, the arena is a smaller one lined with the stalls on both
    outer walls, Approx.12 +/- each side.  I was very happy to see phil
    in a fairly new stall, with light coming through a whitish/type
    covered window.  I can't tell you about turnouts, what I saw was
    2-3 corrals in back about 15 + feet around for the what was described
    to be the unruly (I believe they once had a stallion boarded there
    that was out there separate from the others).   Then there were
    oudoor (I'd call them stalls) on the outside wall of the areana,
    about 30 feet by 15 all side by side (metal movable type enclosures)
    with as I remember a large looked like a field enclosed off behind
    the barn that had some horses in it... now from this one visit all
    I saw (4 p.m.) was the grounds and visited Phil, but I looked around
    a bit and spoke to the girl washing her horse (she has 2-3 there).
    She said everyone there is really nice, alot of TB's, they do alot
    of eventing and dressage at this farm.  Phil is either the 1 or
    2nd arab at this place...    It was kept very nice and everyone
    seemed content, most of all Phil was happy!   This was about all
    I saw, I only poked around the barn/areana, I didn't do any serious
    looking because I was visiting.  I can give you directions too!
    Its not far of 93 (? or 95 I forget) about 3 miles.. I have them
    at home if you need them.
    
    Write me offline if you have any other questions.......
    Nancy

             re:50
                 Oh yes, I've heard a lot of things about that place..
    .......and none of it good!  I won't say anything here but I know
    people who have moved out of there.  Send mail off line if you wish
    more info.
    
                   Bob

    I put my horse in Mitzpah from Oct 89 to Sept 90.  He was treated quite
    well.  At one time during his stay, there was a bully who kept taking
    chunks out of him, however the bully was removed.  The stalls are
    cleaned dailey.  And the people are very friendly, the owners were the
    ones who very inexpensively transported him from Sunrise Farm in Pelham
    which I would not recommend to their farm, and then again to our new
    farm in Warner, NH.  These people are quite down to earth and are not
    snobs.  They work hard to maintain their farm and if you make requests
    for your horse it is carried out, if your requests is reasonable.  I
    have met various people who dislike the barn, but then again - I
    dislike people who are so critical when it comes to appearances.  Yes,
    we had mishaps with our horse and they were corrected.  I also
    disliked a few of the people in the barn, but that too was remedied by
    me riding later in the evenings (9 p.m.) or early Sunday mornings
    before 11.  There were shots which the barn required and routine
    wormings were part of your monthly board fee.  Fee is the least
    expensive I have seen anywhere which includes the indoor arena.
    My two cents .....

    Wanted: Box stall for 10 yr old TB gelding on temporary lay up within
    an easy commute of Nashua NH. Horse will be on lay up probably until
    early summer (May/June). Require full board, with turnout available,
    in safe, secure adult enviroment. Horse is very easy going and gets
    on well with other horses and people, needs frequent blacksmith
    attention so rules about farriers must be flexible (don't laugh, we've
    run into a lot of foolishness from stable managements about this).
    Any recommendations? Owner lives in Nashua, works in Manchester.

	I have a boarding situation available. It's not for everyone,
	but someone might be interested.

	Up until last fall, I kept 2 horses at my house, on 2.5 acres, for
	the previous 4 years. At that time, I gave away the mare, and
	boarded out my gelding for the winter. He's now coming home again,
	and I'd like to know if anyone would like to board their horse
	at my house.

	I don't consider 2 horses much more work than 1, and would
	appreciate having a buddy for Ray. I have about an acre fenced
	in with electric fencing, and a 2-horse (or 2-stall) run-in
	shed, that can be closed up during inclement weather (I usually
	only closed it during the worst weather in the winter). There
	isn't much grazing, but I feed good Canadian hay, free-choice,
	and pellets.

	I would charge $100 per month, as that what I've determined it's
	costing me to keep my own horse at home. For that, you'd get
	feed, water, hay, bedding. If your horse eats a lot, or needs
	special food or whatever, you'd have to supply that (I could pick
	it up, but you'd have to pay for it). You'd be responsible for
	worming, vet, shoes, medications, etc, for your own horse. You'd
	have free access to your horse.

	I would also ask for your help from time to time, maybe a saturday
	night/sunday morning feeding if I wanted to be away (trust me, I
	don't travel a whole lot!) if a weekend, or cleaning the stalls
	of a weekend. But since they're run-in, they require very little
	work.

	I would treat your horse as I'd want mine to be treated - he is
	YOUR property, and I would not allow anyone to ride/handle him
	without your permission. We would come up with an agreement on
	care and responsibility that we'd both sign, before the horse
	came to stay.

	I live in Mason, NH, very close to the Massachusetts line. There
	is a dirt-road across the street that goes up to a Railroad bed
	which has had ties and rails removed; this road also goes to the
	Townsend State Forest - 270 acres. The RR bed goes up to the
	Russell-Abbott State Forest in Wilton, NH, with many trails
	off it. There are miles and miles of trails. Also, within a
	20-minute hack, there is a centered-riding instructor who
	teaches dressage, jumping and driving.

	So, if you live close, this might be a great deal for you. If
	you're interested, send mail, or call DTN 381-1986, or at home
	603-878-3814.

    I'd like to get back into horses after being out of
    the "business" for 10 years.  Unfortunately I don't
    have alot of money.
    
    Is it unrealistic to hope to find a stable that 
    charges $150.00 or under per month (for board
    and feed)?  I live in Grafton and would like to
    find something within a 1/2 hour.  I'd like to
    find a co-op barn where everyone helps out (i.e.
    feeding schedule, cleaning stalls etc.) it would
    also cut expenses.
    
    It's been a long time.  I'm not sure if I have
    my head in the clouds.
    
    Any advice would be most appreciated.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Donna

    A friend of mine keeps her horse at a place in Boylston for only
    $150/month! I think the stable is a small barn. If you're interested,
    I'll ask my friend about the barn. 
    		Cindy
    

    Donna, I found you a place.....I'll be sending mail.
    
    Michele

    Don't give up, you may find a private situation for around that,
    especially where you seem willing to pitch in doing chores. My
    brothers' girlfriend boards at a large co-op in Danvers, but the
    board is still 350. a month, and most large, public stables are
    in that range, so you'd be best to stick to private barns and be
    flexible about your requirements (you're almost guaranteed not to
    get an indoor arena, but you may luck into nice turnout, etc).
    Good luck!

    .78  it's worth a try. 
    
    thanks!

             I have a Cob Pinto pony who is fifteen months old. I
    	
    	     have her boarded in Tilton N.H. now which is 45 minutes
    
    	     from my home. I am unable to visit with her except on
    
    	     the weekends time permitting.
    
    	     I am very much interested in finding someplace closer to
    
    	     my home.....I live in Manchester N.H.
    
    	     My horse is very good natured and likes to be outside all
    
    	     day long, as she is now, and than put into the barn at
    
    	     night. She is a very good horse and minds very well. She
    
    	     has starting cart pulling training, but has not had anyone,
    
    	     ever sit one her, as she is too young.
    
    	     I would deeply appreciate any and all information that anyone
    
    	     could give me. I really want to have my horse closer to 
    	
             Manchester so I would be able to spend some quality time with
   	     her.

I have a friend who's horse was recently injured.  She needs 
a new place to board as she has new requirements.  She is 
looking for the following:

1. Close to Sherborn MA
2. 24 hour turnout option.  The ideal situation would be a 
barn where the horse can go in/out at his will.
3. The obvious great care, etc.

I know the horse extremely well. He honestly has no vices 
and is sweet as could be.  He's going to be laid up for 6 
months minimum and that's probably how long she would want 
to board at the new place.

If you know of any place that you would personally 
recommend, please contact me via mail.

Thanks,
Dawn

    My husband and I will be moving to Nashua this Fall, and my horse will
    be moving with us.  I'll need someplace to board him in the Nashua
    area.  I've been looking through recommendations in this file, but most
    of them are out of date.
    
    I'm interested in any info you have about barns in the area.  My first
    priority is to find someplace where he is well taken care of.  I know
    that board will be more expensive than it is here (Colorado), but I
    don't know how much.
    
    So, I'd appreciate information on specific barns, care, prices,
    facilities, or any other general info on owning a horse in the Nashua
    area.
    
    Thanks.

    	Very nice people.. each horse has there own turn out..

    Board varies here in MA/NH from $150 to $500 per month.
    Depends upon what the facility has to offer...(indoor ring,
    daily turnout, private daily turnout, etc. etc.)

    RE: 824.95 by TINCUP::ACKERMAN

    What kinds of work do you do with your horse? 
    (Dressage, Hunters, Eventing, Western, Driving...)
    Do you need an instructor?
    Do you want access to trails?
    Do you show? 
    Do you need/want access to an indoor?

    There are a lot of places to choose from, but where you will be
    *happy* depends a lot on what your needs are.

    re .98
    
    I understand that there are lots of factors to consider.  Ideally --
    yes, I'd like an indoor, yes, I'd like trails, and my horse is used to
    pasture turnout daily for about 8 hours.  
    
    I ride English and I show on a very low-key level (local schooling shows) 
    but don't need a competition barn and won't need an instructor for a while.
    
    I thought if I could get an idea of what's in the area, I could decide
    which factors to trade-off.  And if I can get an idea of what you get
    for what price, I can decide how much I"m willing to spend.
    
    Thanks.

    Well, in my area (Southeastern MA) anyplace with an indoor arena 
    starts at $300.00.  Anyplace with daily turnout would be around
    $200.00.....

    WANTED:
    
    Stall to rent for 7-10 days in Worcester/Sterling area (within 1/2
    hour).
    
    MUST BE ISOLATED!!!
    
    We have found another horse for me to lease but he is currently kept
    at a farm that takes in track layups...with all the stuff going on now
    we don't want to take a chance and infect our entire barn.  We went up
    and looked at him and rode him Saturday.  My instructor and I also
    walked casually through the barn checking on the condition of the other
    horses.  Everyone looks healthy.  The owners says nothing has shipped
    in or out in the last month but we don't want to take any chances..
    
    So if you know of someone who used to have horses and doesn't any more
    and has a stall they wouldn't mind renting out for 10 days (2 weeks
    maximum), please send me mail off line.

    I am trying to find a place to board my horse in the general vicinity
    of Littleton/Wesford/Groton/Dunstable/Pepperell. I currently live in
    Maynard (but we ar trying to sell our townhouse and move to Dunstable/
    Pepperell area) and work in LKG. I know of a few places but I also
    know that there are lots of barns out there and would like to find some
    more pointers/recommendations. I have a 19 year ols Connemara who
    is well mannered and has always been turned out in a group. Some of
    my requirements:
    		1) good turnout (pasture at least part of the time)
    		2) possibility of riding in the evenings
    		3) proximity to some trail riding
    		4) an environment where special treatment is possible (e.g. he
    		needs to have his front hoofs cleaned after turnout because
    		of a tendency for thrush and the eggbar shoes. He cannot
    		wear full pads because of the thrush tendency).
    		5) an environment where finding someone to partially lease
    		him would be an acceptable option
    		6) board of $300 or less
    
    I do not have to fing anything immediately: spring/summer time frame is
    fine.

    220 x 110 feet, so in addition to the indoor of 208 x 70 you can
    work your horse outdoors!   The only thing they need to do is complete
    it by fencing it in and then supplying lights!   They have a few
    stalls that have recently become available, but probably won't last

    	All day turnout
    	Large (>10 x 10, I have a large horse) stalls
    	A riding area at least the size of a small dressage arena.
    	Access to trails
    	Access to a suitable area for driving (my horse rides and drives)
    
    I don't go in for competition any more so I am not interested in a
    "show" barn. After 13 years of boarding my horse at the same stable in
    Groton, the owner is moving to Virginia and there are houses already
    growing in its hayfield.

    Having found a new home for my horse (see reply .114) I can say that
    there are a fair number of places to board horses in the Greater
    Maynard Area. The price range for full board is $250 to $300 per month
    for a place without an indoor ring and $400 plus for one with an
    indoor. Having made a search list from four sources - this notesfile,
    horse newspapers (Horseman's Yankee Pedlar and North East Equine
    Journal), adverts on tack and feed store bulletin boards and leads from
    present or former Pony Club leaders and instructors - I came up
    with a list of four double spaced pages.
    
    I then started phoning those on the list close to where I lived that
    appeared to match some of my criteria. I visited six or seven, some of
    which had been established for many years and some that were just
    starting up. I did not find anywhere that would have been unacceptable
    but using my list in .114 one became the obvious choice which is where
    I have moved my horse (Fitch Farm in Pepperell).

    Ian, that list sounds like something some of us would like to have!
    I know it's asking a lot, but could you please put it in this notes
    file? It would be great to have a new, updated list. Is it already
    on-line?

Hi -

I'm looking for a place to board my aged mare around the Nashua
area.  We are basically looking for full board (or at least
a place that will handle the morning feedings) and daily turnout.  
She's mostly just a pet these days, so rings, courses, etc. aren't 
important.  I'm new to the area and am a little nervous about 
putting her somewhere I'm not sure of...any recommendations
would be appreciated.

Thanks,
beth

    I keep my horse at a wonderful barn - but I don't know if there are any
    openings - try calling Jean or Steve Dane at the Stable Yard in Hudson,
    NH 889-8259.
        
    They offer full board for $185, and each horse has their own turnout
    paddock and stall.  They also have a lighted outdoor ring and access to
    trails.
        
    Jean and Steve are very friendly and love all the horses as if their
    own!
        
        Dawn
    

    Thank you, Dawn.
    
    I just called and talked to Jean.  She said that there was a
    horse leaving to go to Arizona the beginning of April so
    would have an opening.  We're going over there on Saturday
    to see the place.  It sounds perfect!

    Hi,
    
    I'm hoping to get back into horses this summer.   I had owned a Paint
    mare, but when my daughter was born, I found that I had little time to
    spare for my horse. This particular horse needed to be worked with
    daily and working full time I found that I just couldn't put the time
    that was needed into her.  So, I had found a woman who bred paints that
    offered me a trade.   I would give my horse up to her for breeding
    purposes until I could have time for a horse again.   Well, finally
    that time has come.   Not only do I want to have a horse again, but my
    8 year old daughter has been expressing an interest.   
    
    Until we can build something, I need to find a place to board her in
    the Westminster, Gardner, Ashburnham area.    I would like to find
    someplace where the board fee would be around $200 or less.   A lot of
    the notes in this particular topic are old, so I was wondering if
    anyone knew of boarding stables in these areas.
    
    Thanks for the info.

    A good friend of mine has an open stall in her barn in Stow, MA. Full
    board starts at $255.
    
    This is a small, immaculate barn in a beautiful setting on a very quiet
    road. Horses are turned out all day. There's a ring on the premises and
    access to many trails, dirt roads, and the edges of farm fields.
    
    Contact Catherine at (508) 897-8953.

    An acquaintance of mine is looking for a place to board her mare in the
    Weare, NH area.  She is not interested in a large, expensive facility,
    but rather a small, family run place.  She does not need training, nor
    an indoor arena - the smaller the better for her - preferably just a 
    backyard owner who has a spare stall.  Her mare is a sweet, quiet, and
    very well-mannered horse who is easy to work around.  Her main interest
    is trail-riding, and I don't believe she even cares if there is a ring
    available or not.  Excellent care and a safe environment are her top
    priorities.
    
    If anyone knows of something, please let me know.
