Board rate increase

A friend of mine (really!) boards at a barn where the covered arena floods every time it rains heavily. To the point where there are two large areas of standing water and the rest is soft and slippery. Basically the arena is unusable until it dries, which in the rainy PNW is about June (JK, not really). I heard this is a regular yearly occurrence where every two weeks or so the arena is flooding from the rain, and this is the only place on the property to ride. Plus they just increased the board.

Her horse is acting up from the boredom of not being worked enough so to keep him happy she has to haul out to a barn where it doesn’t flood. I mean one of the things she’s paying for is having a place to ride and that’s not being met. Horses are well cared for otherwise. She’s considering moving to a new barn because of this. What would you do? Move or suck it up?

Why would you not move?

Clearly this situation is not working for your friend. Find a barn that has a facilities that work better for them and their horse.
