I considered it once, but only until I found out it was more expensive than full livery.

It is with sadness I read some of your comments about equine colleges and I have heard and seen some of these problems first hand.
I work at an equine college an look after all the horses we have here. I treat them like my own and they are extremely happy. I am so happy with how we look after them that my advanced dressage horse went in the school til he went on loan to a para rider.
I do agree that not all equine colleges treat the horses as they should but we do!1 The students always laugh at me as they always say if you want a horse to put on weight and look like a picture send it to me to look after.
We have horses working in our school that have been at other colleges and owners have been so apalled at how they have been looked after they did think twice befoe considering sending them to us.
We have nothing to hide. We don't mind owners just popping in if they are pasing without a phone call
Re turning them out our horses only go out at the weekend due to the hours in the week they work. They spend alot of their time interacting with students and most of them love it, the ones that don't we respect this and don't use them for stable management practicals.
These horses are worth their weight in gold for what they do for us and get treated accordingly.
On another note how are students meant to learn if they don't have the resources to learn on?
