I have a 2 year old gelding. I'm also pregnant. Due mid winter 😬.
I'm currently liverying on a farm where there are only 4 stables and currently 5 horses. My 2 year old is turned out 24/7 and he can remain 24/7 through winter as they have 16 acres. However I know at least 3 of the others will come in every night through winter. I'm not sure about his field buddy? I never ever seem to be up at the same time as the girl who owns him so not sure of her plans. I'd rather if I kept him at current yard that he stayed out as the yard and fields are not in view of each other (there is a quiet lane I have to use) so I'd always have to leave the little one (baby) unattended at some point when bringing in/turning out etc- not ideal. Plus I'm worried about him being out alone- the lack of stables. Until I can track girl down to see what she plans to do.
Potential yard - he'd have to come in once the clocks change but there are 7 stables and only 5 horses and the fields are visable from the L-shaped yard at all times so baby would not need to be left unattended at any point but it is more expensive and 7 minutes further away. My youngster has never been stabled for long periods of time either so no idea what would happen if weather bad as its a brand new yard so winter turnout untested!
