Following an incident at the yard yesterday were YO moved £70 of my hay into the rain & damaged 2 wheelbarrows including my newish big one & didn't even have the decency to say anything to me I (& another livery) are absolutely fuming. I've been at the yard over 3.5 years. Always pay my bills on time, am tidy, try to help elderly YO when I can. I change the way I do things when her random whims mean that how she has wanted something done for the last 6 months is now completely wrong & generally try to be a good livery. But quite frankly I have got fed up of being treated as a nuisance rather than as a customer. Yard is very basic, completely DIY with no additional services. Price is probably on a par with most DIY yards around here so not like I'm getting a huge bargain. The only reason to stay is the winter turnout is good. All happened because she decided she wanted someone's straw somewhere else (another whim - it's been in the old place for well over a year with no problem!) without warning us so we could move stuff out of the way.

So time to look around & see what else is out there. I'm in Riseley so anything within 5 miles of there. Keysoe turnout is v limited in winter & I would pay a fortune to have my 2 turned out & brought in, though the facilities are tempting.
I've got 2 cobs. Happy to go to a small private yard. School would be nice but not a must have. Winter turnout is essential.

Anybody got any suggestions?
Think the other livery might be interested in anything Rushden way.
 
Hi, where do you currently keep your cobs if you don't mind me asking? I live in Riseley too and my 2 horses are kept at the livery yard opposite the Middle School it's a nice DIY yard with a small menage, winter t/o can be limited in very wet weather(they are in today for example but have been out every day for the last month no problem unlike Keysoe who have been in for 2 months apparently) also the grazing is very good - if not a little too good! Might be worth a look as you are local? :)
