Hi looking for a new yard near Wootton Bassett, Brinkworth, Broad Town, Swindon all okay. I need a school, stable and decent turn out for most of the year :)
Have looked at a few but need some more suggestions :) thanks!
To be fair some adults always help and if I ever can't make it down in an emergency I have several numbers of people I know would look after Star in an instant for me, it's just those few who don't do their jobs that are creating more work which I suppose my YO thinks the kids have the time to...
Thanks for all your help, I will have a look.
Bit of a long shot but is there any where that you can borrow bits to try them out with out forking out for each one?
I am 17 and get treated like one of the kids at my livery yard. I love my yard and everyone is really nice but obviously I get on with the people my age (17) and a few who are slightly younger better than the older people. However, the YO uses the "kids" to do all the jobs like pitch up the much...

Things aren't that bad, I just prefer not to pay for something as they are all yearly things and I want like a month. I am fully insured on all my horses.
I just set the prices at slightly under half of his weekly rent to help financially. He is barefoot and occasionally has some pony nuts or chaff if he has been good or needs to have a supplement. I'm really not sure though :/
Luckily my yard is fab and I only have to go down once a day whether he is in or out as I leave hay/water outside stable and they put it in, in the morning for me. So this shouldn't create a problem. Definitely something to think about though :)
Do you think it is acceptable to want to see someone ride prior to making any agreements, and having a contract? As I would like some sense of security that they will be there when agreed in case I can't make it. :/
