With "self-care" board, how often must the owner come to the barn?

Every day, to feed and clean stalls.

  1. Once a week
  2. Once a month
  3. Every day ✔

Why: Self-care board gives you a stall or field, but all the care is up to you. Penn State says you need to come out daily to feed and clean stalls, so it is cheaper in money, not in time.

Huh, didn't know that: Cooperative board is similar, but a group of boarders takes turns caring for all the horses.

The dad joke
Why did the horse go behind the tree? To change his jockeys.
