Hello,
In depseration, I am taking to the internet to see if anyone can help me find a suitable livery yard (or as in my thread title, just grazing, or well, any suggestions) as my local feed shop search and knowledge has come up with nothing! Needs to be near Warton (Tamworth, Staffs) - so we have surrounding villages of Austrey, Newton Regis, Shuttington, Atherstone, Sheepy Magna).
I need somewhere to keep one horse - simple you would think, except that she needs turnout, year round, in a herd (or even as a pair) - and needs to come in with the other horses in winter (I didn't think this was a big deal, but most yards seem to bring in early at 4pm, and I cannot get out to bring in until half 6 - I don't mind paying for assisted bring in / favour swapping / doing all bringing in myself when I get there). I don't mind not having a school, but I would like a schooling area - even if it's the corner of a field in summer. I don't even mind just leasing some grazing land and getting her a companion! My horse doesn't kick and usually settles at the bottom of the hierarchy (a bit like her owner) and contents herself with pulling faces at anyone who tries to come between her and her human when she is checked over.
Sadly, after 16 years of being in herds, my horse is now standing on her own, looking very sad (and being a lot more affectionate towards me!) so I need to get her some friends.
Any help is most gratefully received!
