I have 5 ponies at home. I have 3 stables and a pony shed that is partitioned into 3 (I wouldn't put bigger than a 13hh in there) One part of that is empty but if I happened to come across another cheap mini Shet it might have to get filled
I have one large field which I strip graze and also ride in as I don't have a menage

I have two (see sig) at DIY livery. The yard is next door to my house. We have stables and turnout although turnout is restricted in winter and the horses have to live in - they get about 5-6 hours turnout each day. We have a tack room, rug room, hay barn, feed room. We have a rubber outdoor arena which has floodlights and there is loads of off-road hacking around and about.

own facilities at home. lots of grazing, in the form of small turnout paddocks and a couple of bigger fields, all with shelters. 3 big stables, solarium, 20x60 rubber and sand manege, showjumps, small all-weather turnout, fantastic quiet hacking.
good enough for me!
course of sjs up in 1 paddock is the next big plan.

just like me lol
Except i have 3.5 acres of mud. Thats it. Oh and a trailer which leaks to put my feed in, a couple of wooden palletts for my hay which is covered by a tarpaulin. No water supply, a few lovely oak trees and a dense hedge which is thier shelter. Crappy old fencing which is mainly made up of said hedge and over grown sheep fence which you cant even see and the rest is barbed wire crap with sheep netting which is doubled up with elec tape in front of it, the rest is sectioned with elec tape........
On it graze my TB, baby coblet and as from yesterday just the one tiny weeny sec a pony
But next winter am hoping to put up
3 stables with a storage/feed room - L shaped block with a nice little yard gated in so i have somewhere to tie them up etc, a nice field shelter, new post and rail fencing with 2 proper paddock fields
and i cant blinkin wait!

I rent a 5 acre field, did have just the 2 on it but I've since bought the 3rd (a week ago). It has running water and field shelter but no electricity
There are lots of fields I can ride in, and a big nice flat area too for schooling. I keep my feed and tack at home.

Meh, Your all so lucky....We have, at home, A barn with 4 stables, and hayloft, tack room inside etc..But that leanks like hell, and usuallly represents a lake rather than a barn 
Very muddy, yucky yard area where horses go onto in winter, and 4 fields, 12 acres in total...BUT hopefully, in the summer will use a flattish one to school in
Ok hacking, but all VERY uphill..(We live in a valley)
Ah well

I am at home. We have six stables, a barn which I often keep my horses in at night if they are wintering out (less mucking out, more space for horses). I have my very own wash box, which is my safehaven, an outdoor arena, a mish mash of old hunt fences around the farm that add up to about 30jumps, and 1000 acres of our own hacking on the farm/turnout.

...
My yard is a livery yard and a small riding school. It has about 30 stables, summer fields and winter fields, small Indoor school, Outdoor school with floodlits at one end, secure tack room and a small clipping/wash room. There is also a field with show jumps set out in it in the summer and some of the fields have a few home made cross country jumps in them. It set in the middle of miles of off road hacking and quiet country lanes.

We have our own place, nothing flash though!
5 acres of sloping land, fenced with stock and barbed wire, so not great but it is well maintained, and electric fencing - can't have everything.
Barn which doubles up as a field shelter, and is currently stable for the foal - about 20 foot sq. Three stables, two decent size and one odd shaped, all mud floors (we put rubber mats in them, there is currently a bog under one at the moment as for the first time since we bought the place my cob is in at night). Feed room the size of a public loo cubicle - about six foot long and three foot wide! No electric, bore hole water, lots of mud, lockable gate, no schooling facilities, BUT on the plus side - one mile from home, fanstastic hacking on quiet lanes and through woodland, bridleways and byways.
How would I improve it? I'd have a fair few tonnes of hardcore laid as required, concrete floors and hardstand for farrier, washing down etc. But I would swop the hacking for anything!

Kept at part livery on a yard...
10 indoor barn stables
3 "outdoor" stables
40 x 20 sand school
Wash off area
Feed room
Woodchip winter TO paddock.
2 small muddy winter paddocks
Bigger summer paddocks
1 rented field in the village which is huuge with lots of grass and they go out on a rota basis.
Hacking is ok, would be bad with a horse that isn't good in traffic though

lol, I have 10 acres set on 6 fields. Brilliant grazing, a couple of nice 1 acre paddocks ideal for fatties.
running water in 2 fields, the rest is bins and canister jobbies
Absolute shite hedges, the horses seem to go wherever they want to
But a sandschool round the corner I can use, the local show ground is at opposite farm, but they hold the shows in top fields so have to do a 5 min walk up the road
Gorgeous hacking. Its lovely
