Re: [RC] Pasture Boarding--Finding - CharlesMy suggestions is to find a horse boarding operation that has "field board". If you are near Germantown, MD, I would say check out Gray Rock Ranch on Schaeffer Road. I'd be a bit leery of setting up tape and expecting it to hold all year long. I know where I board, the deer come crashing over the fence almost every night. On the cow front, your horse will get used to them, and may even try to herd them, if you leave them in the pasture long enough. Charles ----- Original Message ----- From: "Val Nicoson" <sweetmare55@xxxxxxxxx> To: <ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, March 02, 2003 10:00 PM Subject: [RC] Pasture Boarding--Finding Hoping for some advice as to how to go about finding a place to pasture board my mare. We have been in a stall boarding situation and am really wanting to get her into a pasture if at all possible. I do see empty pasture possibilities (i.e. not fenced) and places but not sure how to approach the owners regarding this. Am willing to put up electrical tape fencing with solar power so as not to use their electricity. BUT how does one go about asking property owners and what other things should be considered? Also am considering letting them know it would be two horses as don't want my mare to be alone. Would try to find a free-lease pony or something to keep her company. Some have cattle but in the past have come up with resistance as when they move the cattle they don't want to be bothered with the horse in the group. Although must admit my mare is fairly leery and scared of cattle in general. One final thing, how does one deal with the owner's privacy when on their property? This too has been a concern.
