Hey hh.
As title really... I currently have my 14.3hh ish gelding on lwvtb.
Hes kept 5/10 mins away from my house in a livery yard on diy. Hes out during day and in at night. Yard has good facilities (indoor/outdoor sch) and good hacking but its pretty expensive. I can afford it but i cant justify the money atm really.
Pony would be happier out 24/7 as he doesnt like coming in and is happy in rain wind etc (although hes fine in stable-doesnt weave or anything) but they have to come in all year round,even summer!!
So im starting to think id be better off renting a field or finding somewhere on grass livery. I do like having the school to ride in but i have no transport to compete so all i can do is hack really!
Problem is its very hard-verging on inpossible- to find fields to rent/grass livery...
I just dont know what to do? I know of one field which is £45 a month that has several.horses in and hay is given in winter but i think.its slightly overgrazed and theres nothing there. Id have to tie up to gate and hack out from.field which doesnt really bother me. 5 mins from my house.
Second option atm is my old yard which is £70 a month for a field with one other pony with manmade shelters and can ride in field in summer. 25 mins from.mine.
Or to stay at current yard or something else? It would be nice to save money on livery cz £45 is very different to £163... But no.point being somewhere cheap if we are not happy but also.not point paying for a stable if not needed and ponys getting difficult to catch as he doesmt want to come in..
Sorry for essay * choc reindeer for all *
