Including myself, although fourtunately that was due to my own clumsiness and not my horse's 
The livery yard that we're on at the moment wants us to either share or not have at all the little field (actually, it's more of an oversized back garden...) that they rent. It is a struggle enough at the moment to maintain my beast on there, let alone another horse, and that is with constant care from me. I'm a student can't afford to be keeping my boy in for the other horse to be out; hay and straw is too expensive at the moment, and it has been one of them sell everything in sight to fund expensive vet bill months this month too
.
If we don't share, we have no grazing, if we do, the paddock is likely to become pretty much bare; it is pretty much bare now! and the horses would not be allowed to be turned out together in any way, so my horse would be spennding half of his life inside
This livery yard also has a small, but apparent amount of bitchiness which we could really do without, plus it is the more expensive place around (it's a bit of a laugh really, can't even provide proper turnout and I pay how much?!) my area. MY horse is not happy there, and neither am I.
I really want to leave, but here's the thing, the yard is almost directly in front of my house. How can I give up having my horse within walking distance? The facilities are amazing, brand new stables and all!
But I wonder, have we ever really been happy there? If we stay, we won't be happy, I seriously wonder if they actually even want us there
So I ask, what livery yards are available around the baschurch/ruyton (shropshire) area that you would recommend? I'm looking for somewhere with a school (preferably an indoor, this year the one where I am at the moment proved invaluable, with all of the snow
) and some okay turnout!!
Thank You so much If you made it through that... Some salted pringles and a potato salad cream sandwich up for offers
