Boarding a horse can be very facilitating and safe for your horse especially if you are away or need a place to keep the horse in professional care. However, you should keep in mind that a horse constantly living in a boarding facility can be out of shape and unhealthy. He might not remain the same and gets more prone to injuries when back on the paddle. Horses are expensive animals and owing them is a financial commitment. Horse boarding facilities will cost you a fortune and you may have to face extra expenses too. The horse needs to be well-fed and well-groomed; you should never compromise on that.
