Hello everyone, this is my first time posting on horse and hound, but I am having some issues with my livery.
I chose this yard as it is 200 yards from my back garden and the only yard I can access on foot or public transport as live in a secluded area.
Although I have just bought my first horse and honestly am I pleased and certainly not satisfied with my experience at this yard.
I won't say how much I pay per week, but I would just like a rough idea of how much you guys would pay per week for diy livery at a yard like this.
Yard facilities
-water
-electricity
-stable
-1/4 acre field
-good hacking
What the yard LACKS
-no school
-no grazing
-no hay/bedding included at all
-no feed
-no turnout/rug changes etc
-no secure fencing (horses have already escaped 3 times)
I feel like I am paying too much, and would like advice. Also the people are particularly rude and pushy, especially to my 15 year old daughter (it is a private yard with just one other horse)
The other horse is also bullying my (dependent) 4yo mare, bucking, biting and kicking at her.
In everyone's opinions how much should I pay and/or should I move and pay extra for transport to another yard??
