My horses are also my responsibility- that hasn't changed because they are on full livery! But I have a certain duty to my husband and kids too!! I did DIY for a good many years, taking my babies up with me when necessary, and it was hard. I go up to see my horses almost every day and am fully involved in their care - but being on full means I can devote my (limited) time up there totally to them, not mucking out, filling hay nets, poo picking fields etc. It also means that during school holidays I can take my kids out for the day without worrying about being home to bring neddies in at the usual time. I thoroughly enjoyed doing DIY and would do it again, no problem. But don't knock full liveries - we all have to do what's right for our circumstances.
