settling into a new routine...advice needed!

[PonyRiders]

Hi
I am going to be moving my boy on to a new yard next week, it has great facilities and huge matted stables but very little turnout. He is going to have to be in 90% of the time at the new yard, except for riding and occasional turnout(weather/YO permitting).
At the moment he is living out 24/7 and just coming in for riding.

So, I just wanted peoples advice on how I can make this transition as stress free as possible for him as he is a worrier.
Also any things for in his stable i could try. He is going to be in a massive stable, I have salt lick, treat ball, swede on a stringall sorted, trickle haynet to try and sow him down aswell. Any thought anyone??

Thanks

Crikey that's a heck of a big change..... I'd certainly try to be about as much as possible for the first week at least so you can monitor things and make sure he gets his 10% turnout as in so many yards the reality is less than the promise it seems and you wouldn't want it to be reduced!

Don't do it.
I'd rather have no mats and plenty of turn out, my lad will stable but prefers to be out

My thoughts are 'Don't'. If he's used to 24/7 turnout, the change will likely be too much.
