Much as I detest badly behaved children, most of us end up having kids at one point or another in our lives. It is a shame that the attitude of those who want child free yards makes it so difficult to look after horses when we do.
I have 4 kids, who although generally very well behaved, all have their 'noisy' days.....
Luckily, I am now on a yard myself, so dont have to worry about other people, but i have managed for years being made to feel like I shouldnt be on yards with my kids!
I agree that kids should be supervised at all times though, and that others shouldnt be left to 'babysit'......

Couldnt agree more
I too hated yards with kids....however boot is on the other foot now as i have a five yr old and he has to come with me in the hols!!80% of the time i am at yard on my own as it is my getaway,but when hubby at work my lad tags along....however he has always been around my horse so in general for his age he is pretty good(and always supervised,we usuallly rope them in to helping)!!If our YO went kid free think that eventually would put her out of business as it happens to most of us at some point
