A bit of a moral dilemma- BHS riding school neighbouring our paddocks (so we can hear & see precisely what goes on) is still operating under the covid lockdown- it’s not under any circumstances a livery yard, these horses are all owned by yard owner and may perhaps have some of their bills covered in that age old “loan” that riding schools do where you pay them a nominal amount and for that privilege, ride the same horse your lesson each week and come and muck it out on Christmas Day. These are small children and a very small number of adults who really are non-riders so for that reason cannot ride without supervision- and are quite blatantly being taught (because they actually have to be!). But they are literally running lessons all day everyday!
Am I being a miserable and bitter frustrated eventer sitting at home twiddling my thumbs- desperate to get to my trainer or even have them come to me (I’ll even willingly take a dressage lesson at this point!!) in my own home but knowing that breaks non-essential travel guidelines.
Are they doing completely the wrong thing continuing to turn a profit while all other equine professionals are struggling?
Is it something to be reported/slightly miffed about or am I a nosey and mean old bag??
