Hello, I've posted on here before about my horse Bonnie - she has been on loan to a family whilst I've been at uni, but unfortunately she is no longer what they are looking for. As a result I've been trying to find a new loan home/field close to home for her over the last couple of weeks.
I've decided that for now at least, I think it would be best to send her to a retirement livery. She is not particularly ready for retirement, but she's developed some bad habits out on loan and I can no longer really market her as the perfect hack she was when I had her. As I'm at uni I don't have the time to get her back up to scratch to get her loanable again, so my only ideas were to find a field close enough to home that my parents could feed/check on her during the week and I could come home to poo-pick/ride at weekends, or to find somewhere were she could be at full grass livery. The field option doesn't seem likely for now, hence I'm going for the latter!
Does anyone have any personal experience of good retirement liveries in the Herts area? Google searching leads me to www.equinetranquility.co.uk and one in Suffolk, but ideally I'd like somewhere that somebody would recommend as it's already going to be hard enough to entrust her to someone a distance away from me. I'd also prefer her to be close enough that I can realistically go to check on her relatively frequently. Anyone have any ideas?
Thank you xxx
