I have no problem at all Poo Picking.. good management and all that. However a yard i was on expected you to poo pick not only for your own horse, but the Full Liveries/Retirement Livery horses too....oh, and 4 of their own horses as well. I told them i've absolutely no quarms with doing...

LOL... Yep,..very good point as regards the type of diesel!!!!

Yep...i'm a late 60's baby and i too agree we seem to be have been made with tougher stuff back then... :).

Question for you Dollymix.... If you were a YO (indeed you may be and are asking anyhow!!),...what would you provide??!

As others have said,..it really does depend on the YO and what they would like to provide. Personally, i'd like to hope that they DID provide the toilet paper if there was a toilet there for the liveries to use!! I've been on yards that do both, but have always been happy to bring my own...

You've got my vote!... Best of Luck, hope you get the number one spot :)

My boy went through this phase while he was maturing (he'll have been around 4 when i first noticed and heard this clicking). He had what i tend to call 'growing pains'!! The clicking (mostly in his fetlock joints) stopped when he was turning 6.

Following on from a thread i've just read through.... Why is it that nowadays, if it's not YOUR fault, then it's obviously someone else's and they MUST PAY.. I'm sorry but this attitude that seems to have come about over the last few years of claiming for this that and the other and sueing...

There are sooo many equines out there nowadays that need 'laminitis/metabolic issues type' friendly yards and very very few that offer the facilities from experience (round my way anyhow!). If that situation came into my lap, i'd seriously think about setting up a yard with the above in mind...

Well i guess you can put a padlock on your feed bins, but hay is a little more difficult. What a spineless and cowardly way to act if indeed the YO is not acting on this. What a shame for you. Money talks it seems...sadly, and from what you've posted, she's happier to keep 3 paying...

Errr Yup... you do! LOL,..but what a lovely person you are doing holidays for free as that's pretty much unheard of!!...i'm sure your liveries help you out when you need it in return for such a service,..well at least i hope they do! Please could you PM me and let me know exactly where you...

Thank You C & M

Carrots & Mints.... my pal may be interested in where you are then!? What's the name of your livery yard please?!.. £65 for FL is pretty low! Sorry to hijack you post OP!.. On the question of whether Full Livery is warranted in the area and what prices are like,..there seems to be alot of...
