Further to my last post about moving, I have my eye on a really lovely equestrian set up with a big 20x60m arena and nine stables with 12 acres- immaculate former dressage yard. We're pretty sure we'd like to buy it but we both work full time and have been talking about getting a livery or renting a bit of the yard.
From my perspective, I have a maximum of 3 horses and my OH is not horsey at all. Ideally I'd like to find a like minded person to share the yard, maybe go competing together and train together. It would need to be someone of similar ideas, if that makes sense, because it would be our home and therefore not a livery yard. I probably wouldn't want to make any money out of the arrangement as not looking to run a business but just some company and someone to hold the fort occasionally if we're on call or away.
Does this sort of set up work? Any experiences? I don't think I'd want a pro rider in as I think our aims and expectations would be different but does such a person exist?
Thoughts and advice please
