I am saving up money and my parents said i could get my first horse in January. I have taken western and dressge lessons for about 1 year now, and have grown up around family and others horses. I am not totaly new, but of course being a first timer, i lack the owning experience. i am boarding at my aunts house. She has just a coverd shelter thing, but no stalls. It is just a large paddock-8 acers. She also has a small paddock-1acer, on the other side. My question is, is it safe to board my horse there. She or he will not be put in at night, seeing as there is no stall to be put in. I will be coming over in the morning and at night, so what should i do? SHe/he will have free paddock range all the time except when i ride? is that safe? Also what do i feed. I will ride like 3 times a week or more and my aunts horses(2) ride like 1 time per month and all they get is hay? or should i have my dad build a stall for my horse in the small paddock? HELP HELP HELP
