As title really!
Current yard is the best bunch of people I have liveried with in a while and Ive been there three years.
Good bits:
Instructor on site
We all help each other out
Can pretty much do as you please
Homely and relaxed
Cheaper end of the scale
Bad bits
Dilapidated
No maintenance (unless you do it yourself)
Entrance lane is rutted to the point its damaging my car
Riding is good but limited and LOTS of roadwork
No agreement in place
School doesnt flood, but fence is so rickety is borderline dangerous
I could actually go on... and on
The difficult thing is the YO has also turned into a friend of sorts, we have socials yard bbqs and we have recently been to a big birthday party of hers
I am starting to look around at other options and for not much more not much further away I could have a much better situation, better facilities, better riding etc .
However. I am terrified of hurting peoples feelings in terms of leaving, especially the YO. Its making me a bit anxious about it all. I am on the waiting list now at my preferred yard which means I will give notice if a space comes up and I am actually quietly excited about moving there (possibly) but terrified of **the conversation**
How has anyone else in this situation or similar tackled this?
