Will try to keep this short - horse currently on full livery ( I work full time+commute), really miss him, just relocated and have DIY yard very close to home...
Should I move him onto DIY yard?
Pros - he will be nearer to home and I will have more time to spend with him
we will have chance to build back our relationship which has become a bit distant on full livery
I can look after him as I want to
Loads of hacking and friendly people to get to know which I also miss
24/7/365 turnout if required against limited in current yard
I had 3 horses on DIY a few years ago and I managed then albeit with some help now and again
Cons - he is used to full livery routine and he would not be going out/coming in with others if I was doing him, could unsettle him and he might become a pain to others
it's coming up to winter...the toughest time
yard is completely DIY and I don;t know anyone yet so there would be no support if I needed help
stables are not so good and school gets puddles when wet but as I ride practically zero now thats not really such a problem!
My non horsey partner is concerned that I won't cope and I know that as soon as I am late from work and fall over in mud in dark or something equally as hilarious he will be doing the 'i told you so' dance!
I don't want to let horsey down my upsetting him by moving and then not be able to manage him.but it would be so good to have my horse back.
