New Yard needed...

[Gorgeous 13]

Hi, I'm not sure if anyone can help but thought its worth asking...
OK, here goes..
I am looking for a new Yard for my 16 year old daughter. We had up until recently had a horse on loan for the past 3 years from our local riding school. My daughter has now gone as far as she can with this particular horse & we are now looking for a new challenge. There has been some other difficulties to do with the previous yard, but it wouldn't be fair to mention them here, needless to say we are where we are & I now need to find another yard that maybe operates a similar facility.

She would ideally like to start to compete & is a very competent quiet rider. We would love somewhere that she could loan a horse as she has gone past the jump on & off within the hour that most schools seem to operate.

Does anyone know if there is a yard that would offer this type of facility? We are in rural south northants but don't mind travelling but not to far.

This is the first time I have posted so I hope it all makes sense.

Thanks

Have you considered a full or part loan? Given her age she's probably ready to take on more of the horse management side of things that she would struggle to get to grips as much with a riding school. You'd have a lot more flexibility in terms of timing and use, and may avoid the issues you've not wanted to discuss!

Hi, thanks for the reply. Yes we'd consider a loan but I'm not really sure where would be the best place to start looking? Any ideas?

In terms of loans I'd look at your local tack shop notice board and local horsey Facebook pages. Then there's the likes of the local pony club website, preloved, horsemart, horsequest, horse and hound website.
