2) how big are the stalls

3) are there locks on the stalls

Answer 5

The most important thing is to look around.

Look closely at the condition of the horses already there.  Look at the stalls, examine the hay, look at the facilities.

Look at the people there - if they seem happy and companionable, that's good, but if they seem cranky and unhappy I wouldn't consider it.

You can learn a lot more with your eyes.  People don't always tell the truth.

Answer 6

What are the others horse like in your facilities? I don't want my horse to be hanging arround with the wrong types of horses.
