GR asked:


We might run an ad in a specialty magazine featuring our horse property. We have an agent, but they are not running an ad in that magazine. If we get a buyer from the ad (we paid for), should we be able to deduct a finders fee? If I remember correctly, a finders fee is 10% of a 3% commission, right?

Benjamin Wise asked:


When looking for stabling what is important to consider is the actual structure and environment of the stable. The best way to choose a stable for your horse is to know some basic facts and then to actually visit stable in your area to get a comparison.

There are basic items that every stable horse should have. When visiting a yard keep these items in mind to ensure that your horse will be well cared for. A neglected stable horse can result in a costly veterinarian bill.

From the moment you drive into a yard, your eyes should be on the lookout.

What does the fencing look like? Is it well maintained and safe for a horse?

Is the property and fields securely gated?

Are the horses content in the fields or are there too many horses in one field?

When you enter a yard is your presence noted? Is there some one to assist you or some one taking care of the horses? It is advisable to call before visiting a yard especially if you visit during lunch when most of the staff may not be in the yard.

What do the stables look like?

Are they well maintained with no loose nails, broken doors, uneven and badly cracked surfaces? Is the stable a comfortable size for your horse?

Do the stables have good ventilation and fresh air circulating?

Are the stables well lit with natural light and or artificial light?

Does every stable offer clean fresh water?

Do the horses have hay in the stable?

What does the floor of the stable look like?

Is there rubber matting, straw, dirt or sawdust for the floor? Does the floor drain well? Are the stable beds cleaned out regularly? A good sign if anything else is the smell. A well kept yard does not have a strong smell of ammonia (urine).

What do the horses in the various stables look like? Are they shaggy and unkempt or are they groomed? What are the horses doing – the behavior of the stabled horses is a clear sign of what type of stable environment you are looking at. An unhappy horse will most likely be chewing wood, box walking, kicking, wind-sucking amongst other vices.

Vices are however not the only way to tell a bad stable from a good one. Some horses may have developed the vice elsewhere, so concern yourself if a number of horses are all showing signs of agitation and boredom.

When looking for a stable your horses comfort should come first. He does not need a state of the art tack room or huge covered outdoor arena. He needs basics and it is trusting you to supply them.

Brittney Jackeline asked:


“Sunny Coast” this is what Costa del Sol means in English. It is not for nothing that this internationally reputed hot tourist spot is given such a name. What else can you call a place that offers average annual temperatures of 18ºC and over 300 days of sunshine per year! It also boasts to be one of the top holiday destinations in Europe. No wonder, if you are fascinated by its attraction and want to have your share in Costa del Sol property.

Until 1950 Costa del Sol was a little known place. It was nothing but a little distance island, in the mountains running down to the coast with fishing and ‘white’ villages. But in the 50s, the place discovered itself and started to develop at an amazing pace. It took little time for the place to have all the makings of being one of the hottest holiday locations. At present Costa del Sol property is highly sought after, by all Europeans in general and the Brits in particular.

What was once a destination to escape from hectic city life, worthy only of a brief sojourn has become ideal for a lifelong settlement! The ideal living condition offered by Costa del Sol property has made Brits realise that it makes no sense to limit their enjoyment of the place to a-fortnight-in-the-year only. Instead, they are serious about making this most famous coast line of Spain their permanent home.

This frenzy for grabbing an accommodation in this place of golf, sailing, scuba diving, horse riding, dolphin safaris, and etc has resulted in the emergence of Costa del Sol property agents. They work as the bridge between buyers and sellers, investors and renters. Whether to buy a luxurious villa, a budget flat or to make investment of big size, going through these agents will be the best choice. Property owners also can ensure better price for their assets by taking service of these agents.

Love is a Labradoodle asked:


When I say future I mean in about 10 years. I just want to know what I should be researching before I get into such a commitment. I did do riding lessons when i was a kid for many years but it’s been almost 10yrs since I’ve riden one. That makes me seem really old but I’m still under 30. It’s just a dream I’ve always had.

I’d also like to know what I should look for when buying a property to keep a horse?

Vikram kuamr asked:


There are various breeds of horses, and they amount up to more than a hundred. All over the world, you will be able to find a horse breed that you will absolutely love. If you are not a real lover of this mammal, it will be hard for you to identify each and every single breed of them. On the other hand, it will be easy for you to understand the nature of each variety if you are able to classify which specific horse needs the specific type of care or foods. If you want to buy your own horse, you have to learn more about them in order for you to provide them the proper amount of attention and care.

In order for you to comprehend more about horses, it is essential that you learn how to deal with them properly. Perhaps you have seen the movie, “Horse Whisperer”, wherein it has been clearly indicated that there is a special relationship between the horse and its owner. If you are thinking of buying a horse, you should know that there is a certain way of handling them to earn their trust and loyalty. There are a lot of things that your horse can do for you. As a matter of fact, it can even protect you in times of danger. With the huge importance of horses, as well as other pets, you should treat them with respect. What is more, you should also treat them as part of your family.

If you are looking for a certain breed of horse, you will be able to find the perfect one when you look into stables or horse farms closest to your area. However, there is a more convenient way of searching for a horse that fits your criteria. This is possible when you check out horses for sale over the Internet. Like classified listings for homes and properties, there are also listings for horses. One particular website which posts this type of classifieds is HorseClicks. Whether you are living within California or Florida, it will not be difficult for you to find or buy a horse. All you have to do is log on to the website of HorseClicks and you will be provided with the image and description of its listings.

From Arabian to Palomino Quarter, Red Roan Appaloosa, Buckskin Pinto, and other breeds of horses, HorseClicks has these. You will be able to find the exact breed that you want when you look up the horses for sale of the website. Other than the breed, you can also choose from a stallion or a mare. The former refers to male horses, while the latter refers to female horses. Other than gender and breeds, you can also choose according to the color that you like. You can take a pick from gray, black, or chestnut Arabian horses. If you want a special horse type, you can go for a Buckskin Miniature. Some of the horses that are sold at HorseClicks are yearlings, while some are as old as ten years old.

Benjamin Wise asked:


How to stable your horse is an important topic to consider, as well as where to stable your horse.

You could consider keeping your horse at home provided you have enough land. You could stable your horse at a friends place or in a livery yard.

Any horse that is stabled for long periods is bound to develop a vice unless preventative measures are taken. A stable vice is developed from boredom. Since a horse is naturally born to roam free, it is understandable that when cooped up for long periods of time they look for something better to do.

The main aspect that requires thought is how long your horse will be standing in his stable. If your horse is going to be stabled in a livery yard, you will have more options to reduce the boredom. It should be mentioned that most of them do not come free of charge.

At a livery yard your horse may well have a stable to sleep in at night, but have access to a field or paddock during the day. This is a preferable stabling method, especially if you are not able to exercise your horse on a regular basis.

If your budget cannot not stretch that far, or if the livery yard you have chosen does not have fields for every horse, there is no need to panic. Your horse can adjust to being stabled all day and night, but it is critical that you help him.

There are many “distraction toys” you can supply your horse with. You can make sure his stable is very comfortable and cozy with neighboring horse friends for him to see. Most importantly you really need to exercise your horse on a regular basis.

Take your horse out of the stable during the day, whether you ride him or lead him around the yard to nip at grass. Give him something else to do besides stare at his stable walls.

Another way to help your stabled horse is to ensure that his ration or food is suited to his needs. If your horse is stabled for long periods with little exercise or field access, make sure he is eating a low energy diet. Discuss this with your yard manager or veterinarian.

When your horse lives on your property and is stabled for long periods of time there is no excuse not to give him time out of the stable.

You are extremely fortunate to be able to have your horse at home. Just allow him to stretch his legs, look at some new scenery and he will be better for it.

Whether your horse is stabled in a yard or on your property care should be taken when considering stabling. A bored horse is a very unhappy horse. When you own a horse you undertake the responsibility of looking after him. Make sure he is happy in his stable!
