I used to love going out at 10 or 11 the sound of everyone happily eating hay was 1 of my favourite things when living in at a livery yard also to check livery's had turned lights off and locked up
wont make a difference i local very popular riding school bhs etc with bhs instructors etc sell some of there horses off all the time I no of someone that bought a horse for 11.000 and that was 10 years ago for a horse i would not of given 500 for horse was shot not long after legally they did...
i have went from up at 5.30am going to bed at 9pm when working on a yard to sleeping all day up at 8pm ish and going to bed about 6am i miss many a doctors appointment etc my whole time lines gone back wards
i would just do it play Dum if asked unless your leading a mad horse be surprised how many areas people ride on and suppose not allowed as long as not causeing a danger or a pain to anyone else cant see the problem dog walkers and bike peeps are far more a pain
not much help but would never leave a horse in a stable on its own after seeing a horse jump out and had to sit on its head watching its lungs and heart beat outside it body when it ripped its self open jumping out a stable where i used to work if there was a gun close i would of shot it my self...
