It's that time, I think.

Hi all

Most retirement places don't allow riding, to keep their insurance (and board) costs down. BUT -- there are private owners who sometimes will welcome a horse as a companion for theirs. I'd say ask around, post flyers at tack shops, etc. I'm sure you'll find something!

I'll keep my eye out for some private owners - I'm sure there are people who would like trail companions!

word of mouth! I think what you are looking for is a trail barn.

If that doesn't work, perhaps you can do a half-lease situation with somebody that wants to ride during the week?

I'll definitely look out for a trail barn. Thanks!

[love2loveher]

oh, PS, even the most dedicated and vigilant of riders don't make it out to the barn this time of year.

Thank you, I'm having major guilt issues! She doesn't care, but I do :)

I have seen a couple of recent postings on craigslist (the farm/garden "services" and "for sale" sections) for a private barn in the Lakewood area looking for another horse to keep her's company. I believe it said she had access to Bear Creek, but don't quote me on that one. Occasionally people post an ad asking if anyone knows of a place to board that has XYZ, couldn't hurt to try! You could also try investigating at the Colorado Horse Forum.

Perfect, thanks for the tip!

I second Craigslist, I found my amazing barn there and they don't advertise elsewhere.

[stolen_valkyrie]

Yeah, Craigslist seems to be the sole place to advertise for a lot of things - that's where I found my job! Thanks!
