Ok so Im thinking of looking around for somewhere to move my mare to.
Current yard..
Pros
10 mins drive from home/15 from work
Get on well with everyone at yard (as well as you can at a yard)
My mare is happy there (although would be happy anywhere that had grass I expect)
Direct hacking onto Dartmoor
YO feeds in mornings if we leave feed made up
Cons:
My stable floods so she cannot stay in overnight (she currently lives out 24/7 but could not come in if she needed to)
We have no running water at the moment so have to lug big buckets from the river every day, when it rains hard the river water is brown
We have no school
I just really dont want to move and regret it..I guess you never know until you try somewhere else though!
A lot of places do not let you keep them out 24/7 thats the problem I have - I dont want her to be in at night when she doesnt need to be
Also I am a livery yards nightmare in the fact that I work 7 - 3 shifts or 2 - 10 shifts - so would need assisted DIY or part livery but different each week as my rota changes weekly
Thats why I like where I am as we can come and go as we please, and the morning feeds are done for us, which makes so much difference!
Anyone moved and regretted it??
