Ok this may be long so thanks to anybody that gets to the end.
I bought my horse a year ago after riding him for 2 years prior to this. My first yard was great but was up for sale so wasn't sure how long we could be there.
About 4 month ago got offered a place on another yard that was nearer to home. The yard is fine but is very expensive and as it is a private yard there is only 2 liveries there, the rest all belong to the owner. I am finding it very quiet there after being used to having plenty of people around to chat to ride with etc.
I have been riding out wth yard owner as my horse is bombproof and she has a lot of youngsters. This is fine, but don't feel i can say no when she asks and so am struggling to spend time schooling. Have only had one lesson since moved there. The roads are quite busy.
Anyway for one reason or another i have decided it may be time to move again. The problem is do i go back to the old yard that has now been sold and will soon be under new ownership or put him on full livery at the riding school that i have ridden at for 7 years?
I work shifts that are 13 hours long plus nights and travel an hour to get there so full livery be easy but being a riding school can only use school when there is no lessons but the hacking is great and he will get excellent care.
On the other hand i have a lot of friends at my old yard but with new ownership will it all change and prices shoot up?
Argh am so confused.
Thank you for reading if you got this far xxx
