[RC] Phoenix Arizona relocation - Angie FuraHi - my husband and I are thinking about relocating to Phoenix within the next two years or so. I've been to the area twice, once on vacation and again on business, but I haven't had a chance to check out what horse-keeping is like in that area.
I would appreciate it if anyone from Phoenix could give me information on the following items:
-Best housing locations that would offer the ability to ride from my home without trailering. (My husband's office would be located on Black Canyon Blvd near Dunlap Ave).
-Basic info on how horses are generally housed
-Average distance to endurance rides
-Basic info on the hay and feed available in that area
-Average cost of shoeing
To give you some background on my current set-up, here's a description of my home and habits. Here in Tennesse, we have 5 acres, a metal barn with 3 stalls and and a wood fence. The horses are turned out on a 2 acre (approx) pasture 12 hours a day. We stall at night and feed the boys twice a day. They are fed Purina Ultium, beet pulp, and bermuda hay. They are shod every 5 weeks at approx $120 each. I have access to 24 plus miles of horse trails right out my back door. There are tons of rides - at least two a month, except July, Aug, Dec, Jan - within 8 hours of my house.
I know horsekeeping in AZ is drastically different than Tennessee. I'm trying to determine just how different and if its something we can afford. Arizona is such a beautiful place. I hope it works out for us!
