Hi all,
if you read my previous post you would of seen that i had a couple of issues in regards to rugging responsibilities on full livery. This week i am away with work for 2 days and worried that he is being incorrectly rugged etc.
work wise - worse case scenario, i am away 3 -4 days fully a month . when im not away, i will always be up one end of the day to ride so will be able to turnout.bring in whichever it is.
yard 1
full livery (no riding - riding is extra (£25 a time))
520pcm includes bedding and hay (no hard feed)
floodlight outdoor arena
good hacking
really good turnout. out 24/7 summer and day time in winter. massive fields in small herds (3 per field)
i am not allowed any instructor onsite - have to use YO who is a qualified instructor however DR is her speciality, not SJ . this means i have to travel (fuel, arena hire, lesson cost) for SJ lessons
yard is 8/10mins away
yard 2
assisted DIY
menu choice by freelancer for bring in/turn out muck out
£165 pcm
£5 for muck out. £2.50 for turnout/bring in . riding cost depends on what you want done.
£3 per hay bale/ 7.75 for shavings. Working it out roughly, i think it will be an extra £50 pcm for bedding/hay in winter .
good arena with jumps with flood lights
good hacking
INDIVIDUAL turnout, out 24/7 in summer and out in daytime in winter. YO said they sometimes have to stay in for a few days if it gets really really wet. last year i think they were in for 7 days in total.
paddocks arent big, most section and graze/rest the other part. can feed hay in field
10-15 mins away
My OH says do whatever makes you happy. which is great! but i need horsey point of view please!!!
