What's the strangest yard rule you've come across?

Hmmm not too many...

One yard we weren't allowed to ride without a hat (fair enough) but the yard owners daughter could.

When we poo picked the fields every spec had to go (despite being up to their knees in mud! Yes we had to go diving in the mud! ;) )

Our current yard every spec of poo has to be gone from the school after riding cos it blocks up the drainage - BUT it's ok for her child to make sand castles in their using sticks, rocks and grass...

We're not allowed to loose school (fair enough) but the reason is her non horsey OH said it looked dangerous.

They're not too bad but some rules sometimes make me smile... while inside i'm seething. ;)
 
I don't have liveries any more but we had one who came to us from a yard where they where told they had to groom every day as YO didn't like to see dirty horses in the field.

They almost didn't believe us when we said we rarely brushed the living out Section A.

Turned out they rarely turned up to do their two horses and a donkey so we surmised the groom every day rule was made to make the bu** ers turn up at all!

I asked them to leave in the end as worked out it cost me several quid a day in time and hay to keep 'em.
