...Im having a thought here, so bare with me!!

I love my current yard, its cheap, I have lovely stables, facilities and own turn out paddocks.
My situation is this....Im preganant and my yard is a good 20 minute drive from my house and its VERY DIY and although DIY has always been perfick for me, Im starting to really struggle. Also NO ONE rides out, so Im always having to ride on my own which I dont mind too much, but when I need to hack Arch out and he's in 'one of them moods' I would feel much happier if I had some one with me. Take last night for instants, it was too hot and I was too tired to school him, so thought I go for a wonder round our gallops, but he had a turn and starting rearing and spinning, I got off as I cant risk coming off (usually I get after the little bugger and not take any nonsence) Now if some one was with me, they would have just given him a lead and all would have been fine.
Ive tried advertising some one to come and ride my other horsre with me, but no joy. One girl did come a couple of times and Ive not heard from her since!
It really all boils down to needing abit more help. BUT where I am at the mo is so cheap it enables me to afford two horses.
On the other hand, Ive got a meeting with my sponsor tomorrow and if that doesnt got to plan, I will just turn them both out for 6 months, which then leaves me having to find a paddock to rent for 6 months.
Oh the joys and stress of owning horses.......
 
Is there anyone there who can give you some help? Our yard, we kind of partner up to help each other for turning out and bringing in etc. have you no friends who would be interested in taking one on loan staying at your yard and instead of paying share they could help with the other one in return.
 
Ive not got any one at the yard to help.
I do have a lady who brings them in for me in the morning, but I work full time and after a day at work I then have all the jobs to do in the evening and Im not coping very well with it all at the moment.
I just need a hand in the evenings really with the mucking out and other jobs and someone to ride one of them. Poss even give me an evening off.
I may consider putting Arch on loan, but its tricky finding the right person for him!!
 
Im only up the road from you so if you want could ride out one weekend?? Mine not fit as he only coming back into work now so it would be a slow one till he fitter. Shame no one else can help out. We help each other out at the yard.
