I'm moving my youngster next week to a yard that's recently been taken over. The previous owners completely wrecked it before they left - broke most fences, left sh*ite everywhere and took literally EVERYTHING, even the top stable doors with them! TBH it's in a complete mess at the mo, it has no lights or electrics, damaged fencing and gates, piles of muck everywhere, just completely run down but the new YO is lovely and doing her best to retify it. She only has herself and 2 other liveries there at the mo, 3 inc me when my boy moves. My youngster can live out 24/7 with another yearling in their own large field, fair grazing, next to other horses for £22 a week inc hay 7 days a week. Im mending all their field fencing and gates and generally making sure that they will be happy enough in their own field. It has the potential to be lovely with a hell of alot of work which will take time and money, its in a great location, use of olympic school down the lane, good price, and as there's hardly anyone there at the mo I've pretty much got a fair say over what I want for my yearling...but it's just in such a state

Move in !!!as YO , i know how hard it is but i turned my run down farm into a lovley place , and just think if you help out when she gets full your more than likely wont have to pay extra

Move in and muck in getting it straight!! Will be lovely when finished and I am sure your YO will appreciate and remember all your help!!
 
I know I know and tbh I can't wait to get stuck in with it because I know it would be lovely in time, it's just I would only have weekends to help out and the YO doesn't have alot of money to do it up. Im just worrying myself with will my yearling be happy there, is it secure enough, what if he hurts himself etc etc. Im 99% im moving in anyway, just having last minute doubts!

Follow your head!!!!Youngsters get into all sorts of trouble and if there is a way they can hurt themselves they will generally find it!!

If his fencing is safe and you are happy he will come to no harm then go for it!!

As long as its basically safe and secure, even if its not pretty or well-equipped, I would say go for it. If the YO is a nice person and everyone is prepared to muck in and help out, then you will reap the benefits in the long run.
