They have to check if there are on site managers on these barns, especially during the nights. In case the horses experience emergencies, these people will be the ones to come to their aid. They can call the owners and inform them about the emergencies.

The stalls where the equines will be boarded should be checked by the persons. They need to ensure the cleanliness of these places so that these animals will not be sick. The sizes of these stalls should also be considered. Twelve by twelve is the most common size for the units. However, if their breeds are larger, those larger ones might want to be chosen so that comfort will be on the breeds during the stays.
