I do hope you realise that no one is allowed to put any form of cctv without posting a notice to anyone that may be filmed. Even the YO on her own yard!
I really wish people would realise that if you are a livery at a yard & paying a fee. (especially to have your horse turned out or brought in) no one & i mean absolutely any person other than YO or a member of the staff should ever even enter a stable unless they own that horse. It is called...
I can not believe what I am reading here. If the livery has horses that are too fat when out at grass why do they need to be brought in & given haylage?
Furthermore, if a livery then says I want a reduction of charges in summer because you are not supplying haylage, just grass livery. Fine...
Sorry but the truth is simple. Anyone who takes money (or favours instead of money) is classed as a business & rightly so. Legally you are then responsible for Public Liability Insurance. (minimum) Possibly Duty Care & Control Insurance depending if you do things like turn out or bring in...
Many years ago I put this situation to test. Often a local (ish) mounted Police branch used to park their Police horse box at my yard then ride out. They did this as a training excersise to take mainly younger horses out with a more established older horse. Also for the older horse it was to...
What a lovely refreshing change to read that the majority of people on here agree to have different ways regarding managing a horse. That is totally my stance. When I do get cross, it is purely because no matter how many times you say "each to there own" the same people slate you & continue to...
Yes the post's are becoming unreal. What a load of complete bollox you speak. Yes it would have made it easier & less expensive for the retired horses to live out. FACT. But they do not want too?
So stop trying to twist my words.
I said & I quote I am peed off that the buggers jump out &...
Thanks Brighthair. & it is nothing to do wih management. I am very close to your neck of the woods & it is damn near impossible to give winter grazing.
Actually just read Goldenstars post again. & yes I think this is a good point. Work them, tap into them, create enough questions & answers & they are fullfilled in a busy yard that fills their needs. On my yard it starts at 7am & finishes at 6.30pm with a few liveries around till 8.30pm the...
To Suzie T & Jingle Jools. You 2 really do not know your arse from your elbow. You actually believe that what you say should be the law. Get a friggin grip. I have more than enough acres to turn my horses out. What is it you do not understand about They Are Not Happy Outside! Like I said many...
Actually I am getting out of this one now. It appears several people are just putting up for an argument. My whole point is everyone & every horse is different, we all have different needs & views? It is a shame that folks can not agree to be different without the challenge that I am better than...
No but you suggest it is for "my benefit" rather than my horses. From my experience I would accept that native breeds in particular " may" prefer an outdoor life. On the othe hand I am certain that any horse can get used to any lifestyle given time & no other choice.
