I have 10 acreas which we own and v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y building a yard. It's about 20miniuts away ( depends whos driving) which isn't ideal. Nightmare when you arrive to relise your forgotten a girth!

 

[catembi]

At home. It's brilliant, after years of DIY!!

 

[The Original Kao]

i didn't vote as mine is kept at work

i deal with her 6 days a week and my boss does her on my day off. not that she needs anything currently.

 

[Janette]

DIY, about 15 minutes drive away from home.

 

[moodymare1987]

DIY ten mins down the road from home

Rent a yard next door to the stud I live on. So whilst not strictly at home, he is just 3-4mins walk from the house

Handy!

 

[JustKickOn]

The place I may be loaning from is the people's own yard but DIY.
It's about 15 minutes if I walk via shortcut, 20 if I don't. about 10 minutes by bike, and 5 by car!

At a farm 2 mins away from my house, mine are the only horses there and whilst the facilities aren't great, its the next best thing to having my own place!

At a friend's field/yard, about 5 mins walk from my house. It's fab there because my share horse's owner and myself basically run the place, the owner is too much of a novice to know what to do so we look after her horse for her. We get cheap livery in return

I definitely miss being on "proper" DIY at a yard, I like the social side but don't like the bitchiness that comes with it!

 

[amabelscott]

we keep ours at home!

 

[sachak]

i currently ride mollie for a friend/owner and my new horse will be stabled there too so i will keep him there x

 

[Cobsndogs]

On a farm, that has small diy/part livery attached. 10 stables, decent grazing and small menage. No off road riding but good hacking. About 20 mins from home by car, but easy to get to local competitions.

 

[bex1984]

DIY on a farm about 5 miles from home. I love it, there's always people around to chat too and the place has a really nice atmosphere, and the YOs are so lovely.

 

[jess_asterix]

at home

 

[piaffe]

Mine are both on DIY which is 12 mins from home!

 

[Grey_Arab]

Mine is on working DIY/livery about 10 mins drive away,quite good really as I think I would find keeping them at home too lonely.

 

[Enfys]

outside the back door.

 

[Grumpy Herbert]

Mine are on full livery about half an hours drive from my house. I used to do DIY, but wanted a yard with a decent school and facilities and could only find it on a full livery yard. It's a great place, well worth the money and the drive!

 

[Sunny_Star]

Wish I could keep mine at home, but unfortunately not possible living in the city.

Full livery, gets ridden 6 days a week for me.

 

[custard]

Just bought own yard and grazing, 2-5 minute drive from home and so loving having my own place!!

 

[ILoveFoxy]

DIY Buts its oppisite my house.

 

[Selkie]

At home and love being able to see them from the house

 

[BroadfordQueen]

In my garden

Tis fab being able to go and do the horses in the morning in your pjs

 

[Thistle]

At home just outside back door, we have 5 stables and 7.5 acres.

 

[Boxers]

Thanks for all your replies everyone. It's interesting to see that most - so far- are on DIY livery with 'home' coming in second.

I would love to have our pony at home, but he is on DIY livery on the farm which is next door to our house! Only 1 min walk to the yard.

 

[DiablosGold]

A lovely small private yard - only 3 liveries. I'm on assisted DIY and it's 10 mins from home.

 

[Tierra]

At home

Stables and paddocks just behind the house

Hoping to get an arena and walker down this year also.

 

[jenmac_85]

Tyler is on Full Livery and I couldnt ask for a better service. The facilities are first class and Tyler just loves the big mud patch that has been created especially for his big grey body !!!
