When planning your boarding barn, you will want to take measures to set your barn apart from other boarding facilities. If you’re opting to provide horses with the ultimate in care, safety, and luxury in your high-performance boarding barn, then consider adding the following amenities to your plans.

Stable-ity Grids

Mud is a frequent issue on horse farms, and not only is it a nuisance, it can affect the health of the horses you board. Stable-ity Grids provide a permanent solution to mud management and are perfect for installing in muddy areas of the pasture, particularly around pasture gates. If you are able to offer mud-free turnout, your barn will already stand an advantage over other local boarding barns.

Stall Mattresses

Maximize comfort for the horses in your barn by installing the StableComfort stall mattress system. The StableComfort system provides a resilient yet forgiving surface that increases comfort for stalled horses. Best of all, the StableComfort system reduces the amount of bedding that you will have to use, cutting down on your bedding bill.

Round Pens

The round pen is an excellent training tool, especially if your barn will be offering training board or will be boarding young horses. Having at least one round pen on the property can make your barn appealing. While round pens typically have a 60-foot diameter, Classic Equine Equipment offers round pens ranging from a 40-foot to a 120-foot diameter. With the option to outfit your round pen panels with standard lumber or with imported hardwood, you can create your round pen to suit the style of your barn.

Plenty of Storage

Lack of storage is an issue that affects many barns, so don’t let your boarding barn be one of them. Plan for plenty of storage in your boarding barn. Installing tack lockers, maximizing the organization of your tack rooms, and adding space for extra storage can make your boarding barn more desirable.

Indoor Arenas

For the serious rider, an indoor arena is a must to allow for year-round schooling and competition. Adding a covered pen or arena to your barn will not only attract serious riders, it will allow you to ask a higher monthly boarding price.

Horse Exercisers

When it comes to rehabilitating or conditioning the performance horse, horse exercisers are invaluable tools. Horse exercisers not only make conditioning or cooling down a horse easier, they also save you valuable staff time. If you are building a large boarding barn that will house many horses, an exerciser can make keeping those horses healthy a much more manageable task.

If you want your boarding barn to truly stand apart from other barns, then providing top-notch service along with some quality amenities such as those above can help you attract clients.
