Livery yards large or small?

[eahotson]

If everything else about a livery yard was right for you would you choose a small yard or a large one.

 

[Tempi]

small, but it would depend how small, if it was around 10 liveries then id chose it as apposed to say 30/40 liveries.

 

[_OC_]

Small....less likely to get bitching!

.....just depends what the yard had to offer so if small or big that would be my factor on which one I'd choose!

 

[AmyMay]

Small

Theres only me, my auntie and 2 liverys at my Grandma's yard with 6 horses. No bitching and everyone helps each other out, shares rugs etc and always comes in for a cuppa tea

small 100%. I moved from a big yard with the best facilities going to a small livery yard with an outdoor arena and it was the best move I ever made. Much better environment, lovely people and much better YO's

Small. Unfortunately with a small yard, everyone knows everyone elses business so still can be bitchy! Where I am has 4 liveries (10 horses) and there's nearly always some rumbling discontent going on.

large, because pickle doesnt hack alone! so I like being on a large yard where I can always hack because there is always someone around!

 

[AmyMay]

I'm the only livery - don't get much smaller than that.

small. i have been on both large and small yards and apart from the place i have just moved from, they have all had their good points and i've made lots of friends. large yards are fine as long as there are the right mix of people.

the last large yard i was at was awful because i was the only one over 14 who rode in the evenings during the week. the only adults seemed to either ride during the day (cos they didn't have to work) or if it was nice at the weekend. As a result it was the most lonely miserable place i have ever kept any of my horses!

new yard is just me, the owner and one other livery and NO stress.

 

[Cobland]

Im at a small yard, only 11 stables, everyone knows each other and helps each other out

 

[kick_On]

small

Can I ask what are peoples definitions of large or small? There are 20 liveries on our yard with approx 30 horses. Would that be large or small. I dont think it is particularly large but some people think it is? What are your views?

 

[vickyconnolly]

i would have to say large. in my eyes n e way x
