A bit of advice?

I am on a great yard at the min which is only small and i love it the thing is a gr8 little yard has come up that i can run myself which i have always really wanted, it has two stables about 6acres of grazing and is alot closer to home my nephews are really into the horses but i would never be allowed to have a second pony there for them. It will cost me a bit more money but i can have the opportunity to have a grass livery which will help to the cost. Im really worried about upsetting the people where i am but think i need to do it for myself..Any ideas or opionions welcome

If that's what you've always wanted then you should do it. Don't waste your time worrying about 'upsetting' other people at the expense of your own happiness and life goals. Go for it

Not quite sure what you mean T100. Do you mean you have only 1 horse at the moment so the move to the new yard would mean your 1 ned has to live on his own? Why wouldn't you be allowed to have another pony if the yard has 2 stables??? Not sure I have understood everything but I would never keep a horse on it's own. Some cope with it but most wouldn't and you could have all sorts of problems on your hands, either behavioural or things like trying to escape etc etc. If you can't have a 2nd horse, could you take on a goat or sheep or tiny shetland? Anything so your pony has company x

Thanks Jess...box of frogs sorry i confused you its my dodgy typing..he wouldnt be on his own at new yard as the intention of me moving is to get a pony also i might take on a grass livery. At current yard there is four of us and there is no chance of them letting me get a second mostly because the part owners are not children friendly in the slightest..Im not one for upsetting people and im very close to one of the owners but just feel its time for me to move up the ladder x

I think you've got the perfect answer. Just tell them that your nephew's are desperate to get a pony but that they need to keep it with you so that you are on hand for help/advice/lessons etc. Then explain about the yard you have been offered. If you are that close to them they will def understand and prob be happier then having the kids on the yard. Then finally once you have left make sure you pop in often, people only really get funny about things like that when you dont keep in touch. Good luck with it all......wish i had the same situation on my hands!
