Has anyone done it? What have been the issues (if any) that you have found?
Its an option I am considering at the minute but I have always been DIY. I did briefly put a horse on full livery for a few months (to help as he was on box rest and work was a nightmare) but we moved quickly as she failed to give him adequate hay throughout the day (she ran out more than once), insisted on giving him Alpha A feed when I asked he be given a small handful of happy hoof just as a token - he was on box rest!, and also when I went to visit I felt like he wasn't my horse, like I couldn't just bring him in and groom him. I felt like a spare part.
Anyone had similar? How did you find going from doing all jobs 5 days a week to only 2?
