    Looking for good Equestrian Centre - Glasgow/EK

    I am looking for some recommendations with regards to a riding centre. I recently sold my horse due to a change in job which meant less time for him. I am hoping to spend more time actually riding and learning via a centre rather than on a yard with a coffee while watching him play in a...

    The horse as the perfect accessory and social status indicator.

    As previously said, there are some excellent points being made. Prior to owning a horse, I felt that it was always seen as a very 'elite' club. I was naive going into horse ownership and although I 99.9% bought him to enjoy horse ownership and let me get new experiences with horse riding...

    Do you prefer a large livery yard or smaller one and reasons?

    Prefer smaller yards. I feel that if there are any problems, I know people a bit better on smaller yards so they are more likely to notice something and let me know. Less trouble on smaller yards (although I am sure I can be proved wrong there lol)

    To all you happy hackers out there........

    I am most definately a happy hacker. I bought my horse for relaxation and enjoyment. Competitions would stress me out too much. I love going to the yard, and even if we dont actually do anything, just grooming him helps.
