Livery yard… extra services

[Birker2020]

If your yard is DIY then I would feel a bit miffed if you suddenly said you’re the only one who can do stuff but at a cost. That’s not what they signed up for. My yard is diy but as a rule yo brings in/out par course in the day to keep the horses in a routine. You’re welcome to come do it yourself as long as it is in keeping with the routine, if you’re late you get the charge for them doing it. It’s in the contract. In summer/weekends you turn out or buddy up and that’s fine - the buddy system on my yard is strong. As long as all the horses are kept to the routine it all works fine. Best of both worlds I suppose.

The horse on the yard where Bails was were in a good routine where the staff would turn out between 8.30-9-30am and bring in around 4pm. This was great for me as I would often arrive around 4pm so would save myself money by bringing in at the weekends. And over the last two years I've more often than not been bringing Bailey in around 6am which nobody objected to because it fitted in with my lifestyle.

I love my yard and can't wait to have a horse again but at the moment find it so difficult to go up without having one if that makes sense.
