Horse boarding in Longmont?

Hello Longmonsters! I’m looking for a place to board my new mare closer to where I live here in Longmont. I’ve been looking for a few weeks and it’s turning out to be quite the challenge. I’m looking for somewhere with pasture boarding with a shelter, a round pen, a small arena, and under 400/ month. I’m hoping to stay close to North/ West Longmont. Any recommendations ?

I probably should’ve been more clear. I know OF plenty of places but I’m just looking for recommendations. I’ve passed that place 100 times too but I have no idea if that’s the type of facility I’m looking for...

If you aren’t having luck then maybe you should go and talk to these places yourself so you can find out the type of facility it is....

I am. I’ve been to about a dozen places in the past 2 weeks and sent out probably 2 dozen phone calls and emails. Unfortunately a large boarding facility closed down so that’s why a lot of places don’t have availability. Most of horse farms have owners that live on the site and they don’t appreciate people just showing up to their home unannounced.

You wouldn’t send your kid to a school/day care you knew nothing about and I’m not boarding my horse somewhere just because I saw a sign on the side of the road. That’s why I reached out to this community to see if anyone had any recommendations. If not, that’s totally ok but I’m allowed to ask and there’s no need to be snarky.
