Abstract

Small property holders with lots of experience with horses might consider owning and managing a small equine boarding operation to supplement their income from permanent full-time jobs (Note: this type of operation will not sustain you by itself, nor is it recommended for someone unfamilar with caring for horses). This document outlines a typical 10-acre operation with pasture and stable for boarding 10 horses. It includes the costs and revenues of the boarding operation only, not the owner's residence and land beyond these 10 acres. Data refers to 2003 North Florida costs and prices. This is EDIS document FE428, a publication of the Department of Food and Resource Economics, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, UF/IFAS, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL. Published February 2004.
