Sorry its a long one, but I'll try and keep it to the bare bones! I keep my horses on DIY livery on a medium/large livery yard (approx 30 horses), we have limited summer turnout, very limited winter turnout (a muddy paddock) a small all weather school and are fairly close to the bridleways. I'm not happy with the turnout situation but the yard is fairly close to home and my o/h is not horsey so it keeps him happy. I have been offered stables on a small private yard, with a large school and fairly close to bridleways, its a bit further away but has summer and winter turnout.
Sounds like an easy choice? but the yard requires some work, a couple of leaking rooves, an overgrown school - weeds everywhere and fencing repairs to the fields. I have been assured these would be done, but the Y/O is not someone I know well and I'm a bit concerned that he may be just saying these things.
So my dilemma is should I stay, better the devil you know (I've been there for 3 years) or should I go and take a risk?!
