I used to go from college with 230 horses :eek: ! 100 belonging to students the rest staff and college horses. Went from that to home some weekends with just my few bobbos, was a right shock! luckily my mare couldn't care less where she was so long as she was fed! :D. Now yard is just me and my 5 :)

Me, another girl and YO. It's a stud so about 30 horses in total. Love it. Nothing goes missing, no queuing for the school / horse walker and no bitching.

Just me and my three at home! I'm amazed at the size of some of the yards mentioned here - I like going down the bottom of the garden to see the geegees in my jimjams and no makeup, might scare people on a big yard :D

in my field there are my 4 and 1 I've borrowed from a friend:D, on the farm there are about 15 other owners and approx 35 horses/ponies, blimey i didn't realise there was so many of us lol until i worked it out, we all have our own fields/areas so you can be as social or antisocial as you like;) I speak to everyone but only have a couple who i count as friends i would trust;)

Theres my yard owner and her 4 horses, and me and my horse, so very small! Only 6 stables altogether, it is lovely because no bitching or people messing with your stuff, have got a little school which no one else is ever using haha, and TONS of grazing/riding fields :) only thing I do miss having people to ride with!

We're very lucky, there's our yard owner and her daughter who have 7 horses and then me & bailey :) so quiet and relaxed and plenty of horses to fuss/ride! xx

about 75 horses I think- I have 3 of them! mixture of a handful of youngsters out at grass, some part and full liveries but it's mainly assisted DIY.

I can't even begin to imagine being on a big yard. The biggest I was on was 4 owners with 8 horses, including me, and I didn't like that, despite it being so small!

I now rent a 2 acre paddock with stables for my two and am all by myself - I love it :) I always have someone to ride with as although I live in a small village there are lots of happy hackers about.

Moved to a small yard from a big one, too much bitching and schools always busy..! Now at a yard with about 10 liveries. Full size indoor and 2 large outdoors , it's bliss as you always get school to yourself..!!

(space for one more at the moment and then possibly another in January, first time we've had a spare one in 4yrs)

Just me - my two on a yard for six and another yard of 3 pony stables with 20 acres! I used to have a few liveries, but prefer it just me! If I lose something, its me who has lost it! Lots of other people to ride with nearby if I get organised, but I like riding alone a lot - so does my mare!!
