Location: Canada		Here are my recommendations:

Visit the facility and ask for references:

*Ask about the experience of the owners of the facility (do they just like horses or have they owned/shown ect.)
*Ask who their vet is and do they have a good relationship
*Ask who is responsible for booking vet and farrier
*Ask what vaccinations are required and what proof you have to provide.
*Ask what their deworming schedule is and who is responsible for deworming
*Ask about extra costs (blanketing, unblanketing, fees for holding horses etc) This can be costly.
*Ask to review their Boarding Agreement - this is important to protect you and your horse.
*Ask what their insurance covers (if you horse is on indoor board and something terrible happens for example a fire)
*Ask what insurance you need to have. Make sure you have insurance because anything can happen even in the best facilities.
*Ask what their hours are and if there issues coming earlier or later on show days.
*Ask if there are lessons required or not?
*Ask what the policy is for arena use. Can you set up barrels anytime or only certain times etc.

Hopefully that helps you a bit.
