i managed a boarding stable for several years..<G> sure wouldn't do it 
again!  you need to have a clear cut understanding about who cleans, picks 
stalls, feeds, turns out, etc.  our owners were to clean their own stalls, 
we'd pick, feed and turn out for them.  amazing how some owner's just NEVER 
get around to cleaning them.  then you have the owner's who turn their 
horses out in the riding area instead of the pasture or turn out paddocks.
other's wanting to ride in the ring will of course complain.  then you have 
the "borrowers"  somebody else's brush is handy so they'll
help themselves.  "just wanted to try so and so's saddle" without 
permission, of course.  those will drive you NUTS.

Man does not have the only memory,
The animals remember,
The earth remembers,
The stones remember,
If you know how to listen, they will tell you many things.
