Thanks to all those who replied to my post in the Stableyard about feeding silage.
Today i went to see a new yard with my sister and two friends, I'll call them K1 and K2. Although it was really nice and had lots of positives (including a super YO) I was worried about the travelling everyday (about 15mins, not a lot I know but it all adds to an already tight schedule
) and the fact that the hacking is not that great. I know we are trully spoilt where we are with the whole of the woods and North York moors to play on though so I was trying not to be too critical.
K1 (my best friend) was really unsure but my sister and K2 decided to definitely go for it while we would have a serious think about it tonight.
Anyway we got home and I decided to see if K1 fancied having a quick run round to a yard only 5 minutes walk from my house to see if they had anything to offer. She wasn't really keen but we went anyway just to rule it out basically.
OMG am I glad that we went. The chap was lovely and really went out of his way to show us round and answer questions even though we could see he was rushed off his feet. He has just built a brand new indoor arena
and has almost totally rebuilt the barns into beautiful stables
K1 and I would have a whole part of the barn to ourselves
with two brand spanking new stables in it, automatic water troughs
and our own electric socket and water tap!!!!! *Breathe Amanda*
Then we also get a lock up container to share, to store our haylage and feed
A fenced part of the field for winter turnout.
15 acres of summer grazing
Direct access to the woods (with NO road riding whatsoever
)
A tea room
And a lock up for saddles and a dry room for rugs which are both to be built very soon!
*Amanda hyperventilates!*
All for £65 a month + £15 for a huge bale of haylage and £1 per bale of straw!
I am SOOOOOOO excited!
Then current YO came to yard and had a right go at sister and me and said we had no right to say people couldn't use silage
(have they minds of their won then?).
So sister and K2 move on Saturday and we go on Tuesday so between us that is 7 horses
He is going to be so gutted!
Sorry it was so long
