I'm sure you have heard others inform you what you should look for when searching for a for horse property. Now, did anyone ever think of asking a horse as to what the barn and property should be like?
Well, here it is! I have been communicating with my Thoroughbred, Text Edition, better known as Eddie at the barn, and I found out from him what you should be looking for as far as horse property.
Recently, I helped a client in the purchase of a horse facility in the Poconos, which went to settlement last month.
The other day, I received the following e-mail from her:
I wanted to say thank you for all your help. It was so nice to work with someone who was so professional and laid back at the same time. You were never pushy or demanding, and we could go about our purchase in our own way. We have always gone about things a little differently and you dealt with that wonderfully. You always made … (16 comments)

We first went through the home to look at it and it's many features and amenities. Throughout the home there were many photos of the daughter riding horses. Nothing unusual with that.
We then walked around a bit on the grounds and so far the buyers really liked the property and believed it may suit their needs.
We then entered the barn to take a look at what it had to offer. While standing in the aisle discussing a few things, the buyer noticed a name plaque over the tack room … (6 comments)
horse property: To Subdivide ot Not to Subdivide . . . . That is the Question
- 07/19/10 09:12 AM
Over the weekend I was contacted by someone that has (or I should say had) a 15 acre property with a house, a barn, and a couple of large buildings used for garages and storage. The property is quite nice and suitable for horses or any farm animal.
The reason I said "had" a 15 acre property is because it was subdivided into 2 parcels. The one parcel is about 5.5 acres with the home and buildings. The other is about 9.5 acres of vacant land.
Now, these properties have been on the market for a very long … (2 comments)

horse property: When I Grow Up I Want To Be . . . . .
- 10/03/09 04:23 AM
Ever since I was a little girl, I have had a passion for horses. I always dreamed ofriding the champion horses in shows and have my wall covered in blue ribbons. I would own my own training stable along with several horses. Maybe even board horses.
Whenever my family went on Sunday drives in the country (gas was only 25 cents per gallon at the time), or we went on vacation, if there was a roadside pony ride (yes, there were such things years ago), we had to stop so I could ride.
The ideal property for a horse is to make sure there is enough room for the horse to have pastures to graze in, plus an area that you can sacrifice as a dirt lot. This is usually around the barn area and used as a paddock.
The rule of thumb is to have an acre of pasture per horse, even if the township allows less than that. This gives enough grazing area for each horse.
Throughout the years, I have heard many horse owners complain about rising board fees for their horses. Plus, commuting to their horses tends to be time consuming and inconvenient at times. Many have stated that they would love to have their horses on their own property, but are unable to afford a large enough area to support horses. Here is an idea that may make this possible.
How about a horse community?
Here is how it would work. Homes are built … (10 comments)
horse property: Buyers: Be Aware of Zoning Regulations!
- 03/30/09 04:45 AM
This morning, someone I am currently working with, who is getting her home ready to place on the market, called to inform me of her progress. She was close to having it ready, so we will have it listed soon.
She then informed me that a home next to her with 2 acres was on the market. A buyer (I'll call her Ms. Buyer) had come to look at it about a week or so ago. She then stopped by my future seller's (Mrs. Seller) home because she had horses and the buyer had horses.
"I just love to be turned out, so that I can socialize and play with my buddies. Being that I always love to play, there needs to be enough room for me and my buddies to do that. "The area near the barn is usually dusty or dirty (depending on whether or not we have had rain) with no grass growing (darn). I just love … (0 comments)
