[QUOTE="canoetrpr, post: 282490, member: 4892"] AngusLimoX - didn't realize you were from Ontario also. Guessing you probably do have an idea what renting the barn out would bring in. To be honest, we don't really know for sure. We know that in this area, people generally charge about $250 to $275 per horse for full board. So we were guessing about $100 to $125 per stall with the owner(s) doing the upkeep, taking care of feeding and so on. One of the things that makes me a bit leary of the horse option is not being into the horse world myself, I don't really have a clue about what kind of customer I'd be looking for to rent the barn to - probably would better off renting off all the stalls to one person. I'm worried that if I rent out to someone who does not care much about the upkeep, the place will be a mess and so on. OTOH with cattle it would be my own show and even though I would have learning to do I'm sure I would get the hang of it. I don't think I have the time (or know how) to try to run a full board operation charging $250-$275 per stall. That sounds like the best opportunity for money and it would be different if I had horses of my own and was mucking out stalls anyway and turning them in and out. Besides - I can't really think of why someone who cares about their horses would want me to be learning to care for THEIR horses. I have to say - our property is setup really nicely as a equestrian property. 14 acres of pasture, nicely fenced, outdoor riding ring, 5 stall barn with a loafing barn and so on. [/QUOTE]
