Actually, moving out without giving notice hits the BO twice: no
income, but they still have to pay all the expenses: staff, hydro,
taxes, etc. The feed may stretch a little bit further, but stalls
still need to be mucked out and open stalls still get used
intermittantly. #ed_op#br#ed_cl#
My BO is very professional about it. She uses a boarder's
contract which specifies that notice must be given on the first of the
month to leave the next month. And she promises that care of the
horse will continue unchanged regardless. It is very
unprofessional to take notices personally -- this is a business deal,
nothing more, nothing less. We like to be friends with the
boarders (even those we can't stand), but the care of the horses comes
first.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#
