moving yards??
i was looking at a post similar to this and thought i am in the same situation! it got a good response so thought someone could help me, although i did say about my situation so im sorry if you see this repeated!
so ive been at this yard since i learnt to ride and ive statered thinking about moving on as it is really basic there. here is some info about current yard and possible yard:
current yard:
ALL my friends are there, a lot of friends who are only yard friends and who i couldn't leave
we are all in the same pony club and we all train together and do the same things like share lessons
fields are ok, well managed although too many horses are in them and water is left for me to clean out, ragwort grows (although they do get it out) and there is a dangerous piece of machinery that is like growing out of the ground which YO refuses to move
YO daughter is my best friend and i dont think she will forgive me if i moved, because it would mean a lot to their family
i learnt to ride there
its a riding school
they are really laid back and helpful, very experienced although a bit toooo laid back if you know what i mean, yard is a mess and things don't get done
can go straight out onto the common, no roadwork, good hacking and can hack to xc courses and other commons
2 very small sized schools, made up of mud, 1 floodlit, extremely unlevel and are always being used, jumps available
stables are OK
20 a week (inc schools, fields, jumps, stable and will bring in/ take out for free and whenever although won't change rugs and no option to pay more for half or full livery) so my mum is happy!
10-15 mins away in the car
my sisters would have to move too and they have friends there
possible yard:
1 big outdoor arena
1 small indoor arena
10 mins away in car
30 a week for facilities DIY
solarium
smaller fields
friendly although not too experienced
1 friend there who i recently met, in the pony club too except she doesnt live near me
very good common although roadwork
not a riding school
stables in a barn
im stuck! i haven't seen possible yard yet but mum is quite willing and so am i although she doesn't want to leave our present yard and nor do i! the vote on the other post was really one sided, everyone thought she should move, but i can't make up my mind!
any help apprecited! thank you!
