Plenty near Barrhead and Paisley. Capellie farm DIY outdoor school winter turnout. Fore side farm facilities as above but owner a bit odd. Muirhouse is the yard with the two out doors and indoor arena, their grazing can get very wet. Sauterlands is in Barrhead, used to have bad reputation...

Going to send you a pm

Such a tough time of year to be getting fit! I am very good in the summer when it's not pitch black I get up at 5.50 four times a week and go for a run before kids are awake and hubby leaves for work. It's now so dark and cold I'd rather stay in bed! I'm down to only going out twice a week. I...

I will let you know when I ask today ;) The reason it became highlighted to me was we had a particularly stormy night and I presumed that my horse would have been in. Yard owner usually does do this. But no he was out and issue was brushed aside that the weather deteriorated overnight. Then i...

Thanks for all the replies. As most people have said if I had been made aware or it was discussed then it is a different situation however in this situation I feel more taken advantage of as I am fairly laid back (or at least try to be) and it does not seem fair. Esp with no reduction in...

Oh no I know and understand that it was not aimed at me I just wanted to clarify I was not being demanding. However as I have previously been a DIY livery I have found the idea of full livery difficult and I did go into it with my eyes open aware that I was essentially losing some control over...

I think I'd be inclined to agree with you. I don't think it's unreasonable to be consulted about my horses care.

It is the lack of openness that is my main concern. I am obviously aware of the lack of stable as I can count. I would be willing to help accommodate this if it was on a short term basis and weather conditions allow. There is enough grazing so that isn't a concern. Full livery at the yard is...

No not a day box. More like a time share! Mine in the box during the day and the other at night. It's another livery who is in the box at night but they don't visit often. Not sure what they would say about the set up. Apparently new boxes are being built but don't see that happening before the...

Yes I did have my own box. Four horses moved to the yard over the summer and now not enough stables for all that are there. I do have a contract but there is nothing about stables in it.

I have paid for full livery all summer, no discount with my horse being out overnight. My horse and one other are the only ones still out at night. The horse in my box is in at night and out during the day. There are more horses than stables but this was not the case when I originally came to...

If you are full livery is it acceptable to not have your own stable? For example one horse uses the box at night and another during the day? Would you expect to be told this was the arrangement? Thanks

He's possibly the quickest horse I've ever ridden! Including the good racehorses. If I'm being completely honest I've never ever given up on a horse (and I've had a few tricky ones) and I feel selling this ones means I would've given up and makes me feel terrible. He really doesn't do anything...

Thank you I think waiting for better weather is the best bet. I've already taken his shoes off and he's unclipped this year so maybe he will turn into a cob. Just kidding.

I'm certainly finding it tough at the moment. I guess I was pondering whether I should give up horses or just give up riding mine. I am going to try and make things simpler. Getting rid of huge journey of 26miles to yard to a four mile car trip or a mile on cycle path is a start.
