someone please help me - im moving to bishop monkton and cannot find local diy livery - all full! Any ideas or suggestions greatly appreciated - its for my 11 yr old 15h cob. No vices - been at current livery yard in leeds for over 4 years. Can provide excellent references :)

im so up for this! :p

totally agree. Im newly (ish) single and do want to date but haven't the time or energy! I missed a lovely meal last night because id worked all day, ridden then was too tired to get changed and ready - plus like you I wanted to be up and out early this morning so just wanted to go to bed and...

so true - that is so sad

:) - agreed! my boy is defintely in his lifelong home :)

I agree with you - i do feel guilty ive somehow ruined him despite tryng my best and spending lots on lessons for us both - yes i do worry - as you can maybe tell i didnt intentionally do this - i never wanted this to happen He was bought for my then 14 yr old daughter to ride, she got fed up...

I did and it worked out perfectly. I paid in 3 monthly installments and he was kept at previous owners yard till id paid in full. In that time i took over his expenses - livery fees, feet etc - and of course visited as often as i wanted and rode etc. Was actually fab for the horse as we...

ty - this will be for half an hour twice a week in the school, nothing too strenuous

thats what worries me - im looking at sharers.

ah ty - definitely not looking at 15 stone - more like 13. ty :)

definitely insured

he is 10, not as fit as he should be thanks to this horrible winter but sound and healthy - when i say not fit i mean in lack of muscle tone rather than weight - hes not lost any weight over winter to the extent i shall be soaking hay once the frosts have gone - hes a very very good doer - im...
