when we moved in the farm we live at now,which has a 40x60 barn with 9 seperate 10x10 stalls,we had really considered boarding horses to make some extra money.BUT after looking far into it,you need A LOT of insurance,and as you know,people who board their horses are a special kind of picky, so they want rubber mats everywhere,feed buckets at right height,obviously they will expect you to supply the finest hay,then theirs farriers, and dentists, and vets.(still can't believe their are horse dentists).I know you just plan on renting out stalls,but "them city folk" will expect all this and much, much more,not to mention WHO WILL CLEAN THE STALLS DAILY.and as Old said below,they won't be their everyday to take care of them,because that's inconvenient for the owners.they just want the pleasure of riding every couple of weeks so they can take a picture of them riding a horse to show their friends..there are many less stressful ways to make pocket money,and I personally think that unless you plan on running a full blown horse board/care facility their is really no practical way to do it unless renting to a good neighbor/friend.that is just my opinion.I don't mean to be a nay sayer,but i think you are cutting yourself short with horses,or will be when you get handed the bills.if you have the property,i would check out raising steer,or feeder pigs,maybe even a tree nursery.just a couple of ideas.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
