Decisions about yards! Help

[Carrots&Mints]

Right, I've ended up on a real pickle on what to do with myself!

I've just moved M into a fantastic yard, we've been there for 3 weeks, and it's fab, we have beautiful monarch stables in an American barn, all hay and straw, turnout all year round for aslong as you want, an outdoor etc it's fab just what I want

BUT.....

My friend who's asked me to be her groom for this seasons showing her yard has got a spare stable available, that also has hay and straw within livery price, and the but... It has an indoor where as the other has an outdoor and my friend will help me back him.... She'll help me back him wherever I am, just makes sense to move him to be easier to get to her, as well that when the days she's not showing, well be able to take him showing instead. But this yard does not have loads of turnout during winter but does have turnout all summer. Saying the thought, I'm not turning him out very much at the moment to minimise mud rash!

I'm in 1 mind to move just so it's easier for me and her but then I don't want to move because I do like the yard I'm at currently.

Hope that makes sense?

Tough one, but personally, I would stay at the nice new yard you're at. Being with a friend all the time can be really difficult and if the worst happened and you fell out with her, you'll rue the day you left this lovely new yard! Also, turnout all year round is a BIG positive in my book.

How much turnout a day in Winter? If it around 3/4 hours I would move as I would love an indoor school, but less than 3 hours, no I wouldn't.

Turnout is a HUGE plus, espec. for a youngster.

I agree, being with a friend is fun for a while but very quickly gets annoying.

I would stay where you are - you are happy.
