Thank you so much for your replies. It's sometimes quite hard to do what's best for the reputation of the yard and it's liveries without driving potential liveries away. The balance is quite hard really. You dont want to seem to have too many rules:rolleyes: We are lucky to have a small block of...

Does your livery yard, owner or manager ever put the isolation of new horses into practice? just wondering because I've never actually seen it done at many yards I have been at throughout the years. I've seen many livery owners buying new ones from auctions etc and thought it could be a bit...

Brilliant, thank you, excellent idea for the lights :) that saves me worrying and lets them know the lights go off at a certain time so its up to them to have ridden in the indoor by then, thanks!

wow, thank you everyone :), brilliant replies. This is because I dont mind the lights on all day in the school if needed as it is quite a dark school, but I need some sort of cut off time to my own purse, hope this helps :). I think I wont have a closing time? and just go with let me know if...

thank you luci :) thats a good idea, i'm just worried about the lights being left on all the time, liveries tend to have a habit of leaving them burn all night long forgetting about them (20 stables indoor and indoor school). What about if I say all the yard lights go out at a certain time of...

WOW! they look amazing, what lovely horses:)

Hi all, I need to get an idea of what you class as an ideal time for your livery yard to close at night? Does your yard have a daily closure time? I need to figure out what is a good time to say on a livery yard advert that the yard closes at a certain time for security reasons. Of course...

WOW, gorgeous horses and photos, well done, bet you are so proud, lovely :)

he looks brill for his age, so lovely :)

Maybe I am old fashioned, but what is the difference between the two? My horses have always been unshod / trimmed feet . I have a very good farrier that is 'holistic' in all he does with my horses feet, he is very maticulous in his work, never rushes and gives lots of brilliant advice when...

I agree, it's infuriating isn't it. It does make you wonder how some judges actaully 'define' show condition yet go on to place really obese horses in the top three, big crests mega big butts, puffing and panting? You also see at 'top' shows, that a horse and rider combination can do a similar...

Our two stage were; lungs, eyes, heart, feet, teeth, gut (movement) and trotted up a couple of times, good luck, sounds exciting :)

I agree with amymay, why rush, why not wait until his wounds have recovered? Uni wont be until Sept / March, the first impression of the horse will be much better if you wait a while longer. I wouldn't like to sell my own horse in that way, I would feel a bit embarassed. I would want peace of...

On the other hand, she is showing a lot of positive things for her age, reliable, enthusiastic, horsemad, keen, proud (new horse thing), actually exercising the horse (better than one kept as a field ornament), I would be impressed with the positive things she offers rather than pick on 'little'...

pajeros are great towing work horses they do it effortless, we had a trooper for years too for the caravan and horse trailer :)
