OK Current yard Yard A comparisons are M P
Yard A - Large Comp and RS - Part Livery 3.5 miles from home
No winter turnout rolled in indoor school if nagged and lucky
Rubber matting (badly laid ie concrete not skimmed first)
Shavings included in Livery small amount but is very poor Quality very dusty imagine the dustiest sawdust you can and then call it flour
Summer turnout stopped on comp days and amount available reduced by hardcore being put down
Due to limited turnout horses brought in when X/C lesson booked as thats where the jumps are
Turnout being spoiled by lorries parking on it
2 indoor schools that can be ridden in when space between lessons - I avoid lunchtime early afternoon slot as I would be riding in the only turnot time we do get.
XC and showjumps available for liveries when not being used for comps.
Hacking poor as very fast dual carriage way must be traversed.
Trailer parked there but in awkward position to stop thieves so always need help manouevering.
OK you can see why I should move.......... originally thought I would have to go DIY as Yard M and W are too expensive for Part Livery
Yard M -havent visited but now got feedback from ex-livery - says all year turnout but you get promised this but can get forced to keep horses in for a couple of months if fields get wet. Manege is unfenced and can be dodgy to lunge in. Hacking good. 1 mile further
Yard P - 1.5 miles from home only Part Livery available but its a bit more like assisted DIY.
Only take in Liveries that they know ie me.
All year turnout and apologise if they decide to keep in.
Cost equals yard A but bedding is BEDMAX and Rubber matting is laid properly.
Small yard about 5 liveries 3 I know.
No X/c but manege plus jumps.
Can park trailer easy
Everyone helps each other.
13 horses 20 acres (some horses are retired veterans )
Some hacking not brilliant but better than Yard A as busy road but not Dual carriageway and can ride with a decent verge between you and traffic.
Personal Problems - struggle with dust - allergy plus contact wearer. Odd day when I cant drive.
