Update: we may have found temporary grazing for the winter, but still require a permanent/long term solution from approx. March onwards. A field or small yard suitable for 4/5 horses is ideal, facilities and stables (or the ability to put some up) would be nice but are low on our list of...

Hi all, Due to unforeseen circumstances I urgently need to find grazing or a small yard to rent for 4 horses near Northwich or Winsford, Cheshire. Stables are preferred but not essential. Please reply here or PM me if you know of anything.

Have PM'ed you! :)

Sit around all day in never-ending bordem. That's pretty much what I'm doing now. The boys are 60+ miles away (so technically I'm not really horseless, but close enough) and I'm going stir crazy. I hadn't really thought of how much time they took up before, but in a good way.

For the past few months, Obie has undergone a complete 180 in terms of personality, and I'm struggling to figure out what exactly his problem is. Don't get me wrong, he has always had quirks. He's and still fairly young, but he's always been incredibly sensible on the ground, easy to catch...

Was chatting to the OH the other day about the future, and having a dog came up. This won't be for a few years, at least, as we won't have a garden until we look into getting our own house, and we both (currently) are out between 8.30-5.30, but it got me wondering. One of the directors at work...

...that really make me appreciate Harry's yard. Had a quick chat with my mum today on the phone to get a general update, and she mentioned to me that one of the horses on the farm has escaped, and gotten into our bin, eating pretty much all the feed. It wasn't anything special - just a chop to...

Having quite a bit of trouble finding any real details on it, other than possibly a post code. Location-wise, it's prefect. Don't suppose you have any contact details for them? Afraid he's hit and miss in traffic, so the second is probably not ideal.

Since I'm now employed again, I have a better idea of when I can move my boy/s up, so am again looking for livery suggestions for the Leeds area. My requirements are: Full livery (or part, with extras, due to work hours) Preferably close to Morley Will take cribbers (Obie) I'm now...

There's a filly on Obie's yard by him. :) Afraid there's not a lot to say about her as she's not yet 6 months, but she's very sweet and has been very easy to handle.

This is a different yard, with different horses. :) Also, Obie stayed in for 2 weeks and was carefully introduced to his one companion. He's still on his own (well, not quite. Apparently he jumped the fence this morning... whoops) but I do get asked at that yard whenever someone is thinking of...

I barely even ride at the moment, and not just because I'm injured. :P Obie and Harry are both quite happy being field pets, and coming in for some quality time. Neither of them seem to have any great desire to be doing anything. As long as they're happy and healthy, and I'm paying the bills...

Thanks all for your comments. Wasn't sure if this was normal practice or not, as have always been asked at Obie's yard and before that, we rented a field privately. Will knock on YO's door tomorrow and have a quick chat. A separate water bucket would work, Faracat, though I don't have any...

Just curious really, as went up the farm today to see another horse in with the group (went in yesterday), and was wondering whether it's usual to not be told about it. I'd rather have been asked my opinion, as I could have told them it'd need a careful introduction and being popped in wouldn't...

Used to get the "Is that one their baby?" question so often when the gang lived next to a village road. 11.1hh chestnut sec a mare in with a 16.2 chestnut gelding and a 14hh tobiano gelding... As well as the "why are you feeding it?", "why are you giving them hay?" and "can it eat crisps?"...
