Well, my post was started because I am thinking of buying a house in a year or so, need to get a few things squared away before I even begin the process. But I am trying to decided if I wanted a home with land or just board out a horse-that would be many years down the road. I really enjoyed boarding our horses, I always had someone to care for them if I wanted to do something. But having them at my place was fun too. So I was just curious as to what everyone else liked. I guess if you had horsey neighbors that would really help if you kept them on your own property, but that is a gamble. Anyone use those "pet sitters" to care for their horse while on vacation?
