Big yard / medium yard or private yard which one do you prefer

Thank you for the straightforward reply! More and more the idea of having absolute control over the living conditions of my horses appeals to me.

Yes totally agree
Too many yards these days wanting to shut up your horses when wet was a massive factor for me.

Prior to getting my own place in 2006 I was on a small livery yard. The ubiquitous yard psycho bitch targeted me because I was a first time owner at 42 but it was great being able to go on holiday and know the YO would take really good care of my pony.

Well, there are certainly characters at every yard where I've spent time. One that I've noticed consistently is the woman whose horse is beyond her ability, hence she comes up with a laundry list of maladies that make her horse unride-able.

Smaller the better for me. No aggro, can come and go as I please and it’s peaceful. I’m happy hacking alone so it’s not a problem. No way I would go to a busy yard
