horse sitting at xmas???

[oliviacharley]

Im moving to a new yard in September and as I will not know anyone and feel a little cheeky asking im looking for a pet sitter to feed my horses while I try and organise going to france to see my mum for 4 days over xmas....
I know it is early to be thinking about this but my mum is pressurising me to go over and as I dont want to leave my husband with the added chore of feeding horses in the dark after work, as well as walking the dog and feeding my guinea pigs I thought it would be best he came with me and the dog in the car....
does anyone know of any good services in the berkshire/oxford/hampshire area which are good at throwing hay and horse food in with my horses for 4 days over xmas...?
Most of my friends are away over xmas and are on full livery...those who arent away are not horsey and do not feel comfortable sorting it for me...
any advice would be appreciated.....

there will probably be a mobile mucker outer/groom in your area who will do it. i have someone who does it for me on christmas day etc. your local feed store or tack shop will probably know of someone.
as for turning out and bringing in, we just have a rota at the yard that suits everybody. you might find they have something like this in place.
