Long thread coming up! I moved my daughters pony to a new yard 3 weeks ago (didn't want to - but OH insisted due to various reasons). Pony only gets about 1-2 hrs turnout a day as the other horses either don't go out, go in a field away from my ponies line of vision or are only out for an hour or so. I have tried putting him out on his own with hay, but he trots around and shouts so as soon as I leave the YO has him brought in. Hacking good, indoor school, people are nice but even in summer turnout is limited.
Other option is a yard with good all day t/o in winter and 24/7 in summer. No school, limited hacking but lots of people there (hopefully someone to ride with when I get myself a new horse). Husband has said if we go somewhere where there is no hacking we can get transport and box out. For me, turnout is priority, but no yards within a reasonable distance (up to 30 mins) seem to offer t/o, good hacking, school etc. Full/part livery isn't really a option as I like looking after them myself as much as I can (I only work part time). What would all you people choose? Thanks for reading
