So I have both Corroy and Felix on Livery. It's a good yard and they get turned out most days. My problem is Corroy is now 20 and I have decided just to hack her with the odd lunge and schooling session (which she hates). They are both very happy there and Corroy can be stressy if not happy. However. Corroy keeps going on and off a little lame (prob 1/10). I really try not to worry about it as she's only hacked gently and gets stiff and very grumpy if not worked (she loves work). Is it mean to just hack a horse that is 'slightly' off that would be more unhappy and stiff doing nothing? She did a front suspensory two years ago and the vet said she will have 'off days. But, as I said she loves work and I think she would decline not doing anything.
My yard is also a 25 min drive and fairly pricey, which is fine as long as they are happy and I need the facilities for Felix as he's my competition horse. I would also find it hard work having them in two places, but there is nowhere with decent facilites for Felix, although prob more suited to Corroy.
Sorry for the ramble.....
