Is a 1.5 Acres Horse Property, Sub-Dividable with a 3600 sqt ft Custom Home. Appraised for $1,250,000 on July 15. In the market for $1,139,000. I was thinking to offer a new Pool, or additional 3 car Garage or money back.

Looking after your horse property can be a difficult task unless you are equipped with the right knowledge and practices to make the work easy. To be able to successfully manage your property you need to employ a few tricks here and there to get the best for your horses. You may need to implement polices and actions that will increase the value of your property so you can get higher gain in case you want to sell it or make it profitable on a sustainable basis if you intend to continually run it.
One overlooked issue in maintaining a suitable horse property is drainage. The plot will have to be properly drained. You should not see water stagnating after downpour. Horses do not like to wade through mud because their hoofs which can easily get stuck there. You should especially ensure that the area around your gates are well drained and that water does not accumulate at that point otherwise many of the horses would be stuck around that point because it is usually soft. Still worse, the horses can slip and fall in these muddy conditions. To avoid this, it is advisable to be constantly looking around the property for clogged ditches and drains so you can clean them for easy passage of water when the rains come.
When the grass begins to grow, ensure that you do not have weeds coming amongst them. Some weeds can be very poisonous for the horses. Use weedicides or hand pick them if they are not many to protect the health of the horses.
You should pay special attention to pasture. The success of the property depends to a great extent on the success of grazing. You should be rotating the grazing so that no one place is overgrazed. As you move the horses round, you are able to allow the freshly grazed land to regrow so that by the time the other size is exhausted, there would be fresh grass for the animals again.
The fencing is another area you need to pay attention to. A fence serves many purposes - it keeps the animals from straying and also demarcates your boundaries. If you are suing wooden fences, you need to periodically go round and inspect the wood. If you notice any rot, you should plane it off and apply wood preservatives. You would also have to check for protruding nails that can hurt the animals. From time to time check the posts on which the bars are attached and see if they are loose. If you are using the vinyl type of fencing, the cracks are the things you should look out for. A ***** can lead to a total beak and eventual get your animals out. The gates of the fence can be quite tricky for the animals. They should not close suddenly as the animals leave the doors. They should close gently so they do not whack the horses. Again, the gate steps should be free of moisture so the horses do not get stuck in the mud.
You should pay special attention to the barn. The floor needs to be clean at all times. You should regularly go round and remove all pieces of metals or sharp objects that can cause injury to the animals. You should also check for litter especially hay and remove them so that they don’t get wet and make the animals uncomfortable.
The drinking area must be clean at all times. Try as much as possible to inspect the place for possible contamination. Avoid putting chemicals or other hazardous materials close to their drinking troughs.
With these tips, property owners will be able to protect their equestrian grounds and increase their resale value.

Lydia K Kelly asked:
Many horse owners consider if it might be nicer to have their horse at home. They would be able to see him any time they wanted, and transportation would never be an issue when it came to riding.
There are many things you need to consider as your make a decision about moving your horse to your own property.
First of all, is your property set up to keep a horse? You will need a barn with a safe stall, or even better two or three stalls, since horses are heard animals and prefer company. You will need a safely fenced paddock with at least 1 acre of grazing per horse you plan to have on it. You will need somewhere you can work with your horse. You also need to make sure that the local bylaws permit horses on your property.
Once you have assured that your facility is adequate for your needs, you need to consider how you will take care of your horse. A horse needs to be fed three times a day. He should be turned out in the morning, and brought in at night. Someone will also need to clean his stall while he is outside, so it is ready for him to come in.
While you can leave a horse outside 24 hours if you have a run-in shed, you need to consider that in foul weather, you might want to move him indoors. Outside you can get away with a round bale, but that round bale will still need to be monitored and replaced on a regular basis. The water trough will also need to be checked daily, and scrubbed and refilled at least once a week.
It is essential that someone be available to check on your horse once a day. This means that if you are going to be away, you will need a farm sitter who will be able to keep an eye on your horse. Many people who keep their horses at home do not get a chance to get away very often because of this. You can’t just up and leave, even for a weekend get-away. You need to plan ahead.
Having your horse at home can lead to more riding time, but keep in mind that you will need to make sure that your coach is willing to travel if you want lessons. At home, you may not have enough equipment to practice for shows, so you might need to ship out for additional training sessions. If you pleasure ride, you will need to find out what trails are available nearby that are safe for riding.
Often, people find that with their horses at home, they in fact get less riding time. So much time and effort is spent taking care of the horses that riding falls by the wayside. It is not uncommon for riders to complain that they ride far less now that their horses are at home than they did when they were boarding.
Keeping your horses at home is a personal decision. For some it works out very well. For others, it turns out to be more trouble than it is worth. You can always switch back to boarding if it doesn’t work out, but it seems a pity to throw away the money you sank into your farm to make it horse-worthy.
Take your time with your decision and talk to horse owners who do have horses at home. Make sure that you are well prepared before committing to moving your horse. There is no shame in deciding to continue to board. You may find that it is the best solution to your situation after all.

Frank Rom asked:
Owners of competitive horses from all over the United States of America look forward to compete against each other in the championship finals of the National Horse Show. This national event is organized by the National Horse Show Association of America and takes place at the Palm Beach Polo Equestrian Club in Wellington, Florida.
The National Horse Show offers all kinds of competitions, so no matter where the horses are from or in whatever specialty the owner wishes to compete, there is always the possibility to put a horse up and show off its best talents against the world’s finest and very best in horsemanship competition.
Thousands of people attend and appreciate this competition each year. It is one of the goals of the organization: one the one hand to get the general public not only more interested but also better cultivated in the art of horsemanship. On the other hand of course the goal is to contribute to the advancement of excellence in the field of equestrian sports.
Olympia London International Horse Show
Next to the American based National Horse Show there is also the Olympia London International Horse Show. This one takes place in London, England (who would have guessed?) each year in December. This too is a world famous horse show where only the words finest and the elite of horses and owners can compete in such events as show jumping or dressage. The level of skill that is displayed here never ceases to amaze the visitors, while they are admiring these fine horses competing each other.
The show jumping here contains different classes with melodious sounding names like the DEI Jumping World Cup Qualifier, the Accenture Christmas Puissance and the Olympia Grand Prix. And one would never believe this in a country like England full of the so called stiff upper lips, but there is even a show jumping event where the riders need to do the show jumping course, then leave the horses and jump into a car and do a course delimited with cones. Not surprisingly this event is called the Mitsubishi Ride and Drive competition.
Dressage is another of the competition possibilities: Olympia first introduced these just in 2004, since then dressage has become a permanent part of the horse show.
A specialty horse show back home is the Arabian Horse Association of Arizona’s Annual Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show. This is the place to be for anyone wanting to known in the world of the Arabian Horse. It is an event with a lot of history: the first ever show took place in 1955 on the property of the Arizona Biltmore Hotel. The organizing association (Arabian Horse Association of Arizona) was founded in the same year. A win in one of their competitions brings loads of cash to the owner; needless to say the competition is fierce.

My X promised to buy my kids a horse 2 years ago. But after finding the right horse, he made them both pay 1/3 of the horse, 1/3 of the horse trailer that needed some work (he’s never done) and my daughter bought her brother out for $500-what she paid for 1 month of pro training. When she told “dad’ she wanted to sell the horse since she doesn’t go there much, he said “NO! I have $400 invested so you MUST breed her & sell the foal for $1200 & pay him 1/2! Can a 13 yr old sue her dad in small claims? He’s a total A$$! Has treated her like dirt since 6/7 when she refused to live w/him. I can’t pay a lawyer but I heard that if a kid asks, they get a lawyer free, true?
