Have the opportunity to bring my horses to a field at home instead of livery. The field has nothing at all facilities wise and is a 30min hack to the nearest arena. Hacking is good.
It is not close enough to take them to my house without crossing a very busy road but its close enough for checks.
Does anyone else compete successfully with no facilities at all or is it going to be too hard to get anywhere?
Can I school in the field itself all year round?
What happens in winter when its too wet etc?
How would I bath and prep with no running water?
Obviously the main plus point is the (huge!) financial saving and also that horses can live out however at livery we have 3x floodlit arenas which I use all year round, cross country, help and lessons on site, floodlights, hot wash etc.
I want to continue to compete most weekends throughout the year.
Am I mad to be considering this?
