My mare has always been a bit of a grouch occasionally, but recently she been worse than usual. My mum was looking after her over the weekend and was backed into a corner of the stable after my mare tried to kick her. She also took off with her twice over the weekend when brought in from the...

She hacks out fine in company, but is nervy on her own. Although there is no one on my yard who hacks, there is a woman nearby who would be interested, but haven't been out as of yet due to the weather. She will hack out alone but she is nervy and will take the p***, so the rider has to be...

See my previous post ^^ :)

Thank you both for the advice. I find it a bit of a minefield! The yard I am at has good facilities: great grazing with max of 2 per field, large out door arena, small out door arena for when other is in use (YO gives lessons) or frozen and plenty of large fields YO owns to hack or school in...

Oh dear, it has just started again. And more than a little bit!

It was snowing a little bit here too, I am based in Central Scotland. Glad I put an extra layer on the ponio tonight!

I pay £65 pw, so around £260 pm for DIY. This includes huge stable, big outdoor arena, own field, excellent grazing all year round, small out door arena (good to use in winter), hay, feed, shavings, turnout and fed morning and night. My horse is very much a good doer so it isn't amazing value...
