Newby Here with a Question!

Hey all - I am a newby to the horse messgeboard. I didn't realize that this is a subcategory of the WLS site. How absolutely . I am very horsey. My passion and hopefully soon my profession, once again, is Equine Experiential Learning and Equine Assisted Psychotherapy. I have just recently moved back to the Brd MN area and am having to board my two quarterhorses. They are super low maintenece and out to pasture right now. The place they are at is going to triple the board fee in Sept and I simply cannot afford it. IS ANYONE OUT THERE WITHEN 20 OR 30 MILES OF BRAINERD AND WANT TO BOARD MY HORSES. . . . . . My family and I have been moving around so much, we just spent a year in MO where I was running and brand new million doller facility for EAP, EFP and Therapuetic Riding for disabled. Due to some administrative difficulties I had to leave and am now here. My weight has really kept me away from my loves but I will not give them up as I consider them not only my friends but my collegues! I will hopefully be having a lap band in 6 to 8 weeks. And I am in the process of working out my business plan to launch here in the area. Unfortunately we are renting right now and have no place for my horses. ANy suggestions or offers are greatly welcome. And if none come up then I am simply happy to have a message board such as this to be a part of!! Thanks bunches in advance. . . Sara

Sara, I am on the trailrider@yahoogroups list, and there are several people from MN on the list. You might try asking there if you haven't found a place. I believe that Robin & Dan McKenzie on that list live near Brainerd. It couldn't hurt to ask! Besides, there are some AWESOME people on the list that are so much fun! We try to travel and ride together and I have been all over the NW, as well as to Utah twice with the list "mom"...great friends and riding buddies abound!
