*Full board can vary from barn to barn, but usually involves stall for horse, feeding, blanketing, turn-out, and often de-worming. Please note that there are some facilities that offer field board, which starts around $125 per month.
**Although you may want to get your own grooming supplies, for the most part you will probably use the equipment provided by the owner. If so, the important thing is to take good care of that equipment by keeping it clean and in good condition.Please note that these figures have been compiled based on the most recent findings by the Maryland Horse Industry Board.
