How To Choose The Right Horse Riding Stable

Whether you're a professional horse rider or you
just enjoy the hobby, one of your
responsibilities is to find appropriate stables
for your steeds. If you're still a newbie, well,
you don't have to worry because finding a shelter
for your gentle giant doesn't require expert
knowledge. In fact, all you need is common sense
and patience for your horse to have a comfortable
home.

You will probably come across different sheds and
you may feel a bit confused on which one to
choose. To help you reach a sound decision, here
are some factors that you need to consider:

a) Location

You can browse the Internet or ask your family
and friends regarding stables that can provide
your horse with all the necessities. However, you
should also check the location to make sure that
it's accessible and convenient for you to drive
to the place.

b) Cleanliness

The condition of the sheds tell a lot about the
owner. If you're looking into a filthy stable,
you can say that your horse isn't safe in such
shelter. On the other hand, if the stall is
clean, well-ventilated and complete with
supplies, you can have peace of mind that your
beloved animal will be given utmost care. You can
also take a look at the storage sheds were the
supplies are kept to see if there are no pests
and grime.

c) Health maintenance

To make certain that your steeds will be safe and
healthy, a veterinarian and a surgical facility
should be located near the stable in case there
are emergencies. Also check for health
certificates, vaccinations and supplements that
are provided.

d) Equipment

The stables and storage sheds in your area
wherever you plan on housing your horse should be
equipped with the necessary tools and supplies.
There should be ample waterers, feeders, buckets
and sufficient supply of food. And if you're
still new in the hobby and you plan on getting
lessons, it would also be practical if the stall
you are getting services from can provide you
with horse riding equipment, including a helmet,
saddle, bridle and riding boots, until you can
afford your own set.

e) Instructor/Owner

Ask the owner or the hired instructor regarding
their experience and techniques. You can get
essential tips from them on how to take care and
train your horse. Also, with a skilled
instructor, you will be able to polish your horse
riding skills at a faster pace.
