These are all previous yards but had to share, mind not as great as some but at the time it really irrtated me!
- After moving, I found out hose pipes were not allowed and she got seriously funny if you used buckets to bath your horse once a year or before a competition. Difficult when I own a mostly white piebald, had to box him to a friends yard to bath him same as others done. YET the YO herself had a removable hosepipe she used to bath her horses every other day in summer but no one else was allowed - just her. We paid close to a small fortune to be there!
- If your horse pooed on the drive you should immediately pick it up, even if you were riding or hacking out you should get off, walk back to the yard and get a scoop.
- Old yard had american stables, all horses were only allowed in one end. However people would tie up outside stables making it impossible to put your horses in their box as it was so narrow (specially if you were at the other end!) You had to wait for anything up to 10 horses to be moved or get shouted at, there was no where else to tie so people didn't have a choice. Mind the other entry point to the barn was exact the same as the other end, symmetrical, just only people allowed in that entrance and my stable was 2ft from that entrance! When I was on my way to work early that was irritating.
Sure i'll think of some more..
