Who has ever made the move from Full to DIY? How did you find the transition, and did you prefer having the money, or the time?!
Been on full livery for years and years. Potentially found a livery yard for when horse returns from loan on the way to and from work, but it is DIY only. There are 7 other people who have horses there, and I know one of the girls through mutual friends. She said most people will all chip in and help each other out, which suits me fine as I sometimes work away and I am more than willing to pay someone back by helping them out when they are away.
For those on DIY, how do you manage your time and trips to the yard daily? How much do you end up spending on hay/feed/bedding on top of your DIY price?
The only issue I have is that horse is not due back until late October, and I really want this box! Is it reasonable to ask for it to be reserved if I offer a deposit, monthly livery cost upfront or pay a fee to reserve it?
