Moving with horses can be difficult. Not all “horse properties” are set up just the way you want them to be. Many times Buyers need to board horses temporarily while conversion of fencing or barn set up takes place. If this is the case I offer temporary boarding here at my ranch or I refer my clients to a number of other local Bastrop boarding facilities. There is a good list to choose from on Ohorse.
My husband and I have moved our herd ( never under 12 in the last ten years….I can still see him wince at the thought of a move ha ha!) once from Colorado to Arizona, and then here to Central Texas. With bred mares I chose to move the horses over to Texas first based on their scheduled foaling dates and our scheduled closings one on our ranch in AZ and the other here. My mares are pasture savvy so I was fortunate enough to find a lovely 8 acre turn out ( basically it was a trap for a cattle operation no longer in use) where I boarded them until we closed and moved into our home. There are opportunities like this to be found but it takes knowing a local who can put their nose to the ground to find them. This is something that as a local Austin area horse property specialist I am happy to research for my Buying Clients
