Looking for somewhere to board!

I have just purchased a young thoroughbred off the track and am looking for somewhere to board her near Calgary AB. I live in the city so it would need to be as close to Calgary as possible. There are plebty of great barns near Calgary, but I don't have a ton of money to spend. Does anyone know of a nice safe place where I can keep my gelding for a reasonable price?

Call Teesdale. If that barn is out of your price range (I have no idea what they charge), the owners are VERY nice and would likely have some suggestions for you as they are that kind of people. Teesdale is located just passed Spruce Meadows.

Another option that helped me in the past was to talk to the area Vet. They often know of private failities that take in boarders, and they will know if the place is decent!

I know the people that own teesdale, and yes they are very nice. I did alot of showing there as a junior. They are definately out of my price range. It doesn't have to be a show barn, just a nice safe place. Thank you for the advice!
