Equestrian activities require land resources that are in high demand for a variety of uses. Today, horse boarding facilities are being concentrated on smaller amounts of land and closer to urban areas. Keeping horses requires resource and energy inputs that produce potentially polluting waste if not managed properly. These factors can lead to undesirable environmental impacts affecting soil, water, and air as well as human and animal health. Contrary to these issues horse boarding can provide the opportunity for conservation, which would be highlighted by improving the sustainability of horse ownership. In order to address the negative issues related to horse boarding, I want to explore ways to reduce the environmental impact of horse boarding operations using library resources, case studies, and personal experience. My research will focus on making adjustments through retrofit and initial design along with management practices of horse boarding facilities. I plan to adapt methods designed to reduce the impact of the human world to horse boarding and look for solutions unique to horse management. My overall all goal is to raise awareness about the environmental impact of horse keeping, pinpoint the specific areas of impact, and offer solutions.

The Sustainable Stables website provides a far-reaching guide to environmentally conscious horse keeping. It covers in depth the topics of green products, methane capture from manure, pest management, as well as wildlife and habitat conservation. This website also includes examples of real world horse facilities implementing the practices that are supported by Sustainable Stables. This website will serve as a central source of information for the reduction of the environmental impact of horse keeping in all areas of design and management in my project.

The California Climate Data Archive serves as an archive for multiple climate and weather networks in the state. The archive provides climate and weather maps that are updated daily as well as maps examining temporal scales of temperature and precipitation. Climate information is important in planning a horse boarding facility because weather will determine some aspects of facility design and management. This website will be a reference for the weather and climate of California, which this project will emphasize.

The goal of the Equine Land Conservation Resource is the protection of land for horse activities. It is stated on the homepage that thirty-six million acres are needed just to feed the nine million horses in the United States. The issue is not only having available land but also protecting it from degradation. Information on environmental protection is also available on the link in their website featuring farm and ranch land management and best practices management and provides many articles on these issues. This website will be helpful to highlight the conservation approach to horse facility design and management.
