• Building a turnout schedule that keeps the peace — Turnout is where boarding barns most often go wrong. The wrong horse in the wrong group, or too little grass, and you've got vet bills, fence repairs, and an owner threatening to leave.
• Pasture rotation: making your grass last the season — Good pasture is the cheapest feed you'll ever grow, and most horse owners destroy theirs within a season by overgrazing. Rotation is how you keep grass alive and your hay bill down.
