Beauty is the eye of the beholder, of course, but there are certain, definable features that make boarding facilities attractive to horse owners. In this episode, Helena talks with pro rider, 3* eventer, and business owner, Bevin O’Reilly Dugan, proprietor of O’Reilly Equestrian in southern VT. Bevin and Helena discuss features of boarding barns that provide the most value. Listen in!
