I sort of agree with you on the boarding situation. It all depends on where you live and what kind of person you find. I grew up on a boarding stable. I love it and we had a lot and of people who loved their horses. We also had people who didn't give a shit, for example we had a horse out there for ten years and not once did I ever see it get rode by the owners. They would show up once a month, pay the bill and drop off treats. After that they were gone, I even tried four or five times to buy said horse. I felt so bad that it never got any attention from the owners. Luckily it was full care so in the summers it was out all day minus when we fed them grain. Knowing that I completely understand your feelings on it, at the same time if you can find someone who generally loves their horse, I wouldn't dismiss them immediately. At the end of the day, seeing as you don't need to get rid of it now, do what feels right and makes you happy.
