Anyone With Experience Boarding Horses/Renting Stables

[Jake Thompson]

Hey everyone, I’m looking for insight from anyone who has operated a horse boarding/stall rental business. My wife and I have been looking to buy a piece of property with horse stalls and an arena (or possibly room to build our own). Rather than pay a premium for this and delay our FI date, we are considering renting out additional stalls to either help cover costs or possibly even make some additional money.

If you have experience with this I’d love to hear any tips regarding what to look out for, what is involved with doing this, etc. My wife has grown up around horses her whole life and we’d likely have her best friend who has also had horses her whole life to help us. I don’t have a ton of experience with horses, but am willing to learn.

Thanks!
