Pasture board?

CoppysGirl · 06-19-2008, 05:37 PM

Hello, I'm posting this for someone who is interested in leasing my appaloosa. She's pregnant right now so she won't be getting to do any riding, but her daughter will. We're trying to find cheap pasture board in or near Safety Harbor, FL.

Please, please, please PM me if you know of anywhere! Thank you!

Be careful of pasture board during the Florida summers.

Thank you for your concern, but I've pastured my horse out in the open with plenty of access to water and shelter every summer since I've owned him. He goes berserk in a stall and the benefits far outweigh the risks in his situation. I'm lucky enough that we've never had any problems and it's worked out well for us. The people who are leasing him are going to be going to the barn everyday to hose him off and apply fly spray if need be.

Thank you though!

Lived in FL., all my life and my horses are always kept out 24/7.

Have you tried running a local ad?

There is a place off Van Dyke Rd in Odessa Fl. 1/2 hour from you. lots of grass and individual paddocks.

Thank you guys for your posting, but Odessa is too far away from Safety Harbor. Really looking for something within 15-30 minutes from Safety Harbor.

Thanks though!

Pretty hard to find in Pinellas County. You could try calling the local Tack and Feed Stores. They might know of a place.

Morgan is right. Pinellas County has very few places to board. I had a boarder that drove to my house from South St. Petersburg...1-1/2 hours w/ traffic!

Hopefully you will get some responses to your ad...good luck.
