No matter where you live, what your discipline, or how fancy your stable is, one thing is for certain: barn friendships are the best kinds of friendships, and they’re pretty much all the same.

For instance, we know that at some point or another, you’ve probably gotten into trouble with your barn BFF, be it on or off your horses. You’ve likely discussed the finer points of your trainer, horse care, and showing; jumped jumps in the backyard; or played Breyer horses. You’ve spent lots of time laughing. Usually until you cry.

And chances are good that you’ve asked each other at least some (or all) of these questions.

 

Special thanks to my great and talented barn friends, Abigail, Emily, and Hannah! Shot on location at Great Lakes Equestrian Festival.
