Morning,
I will soon be weaning my mare and foal and will be bringing my mare back into work. I will be moving my mare away from stud and have to make a decision as to which yard would be best.
I work full time 30 minutes from home in a new job.
Yard 1
10 minutes from home.
£25 per week DIY - Assisted livery available which is very reasonable.
Stable, group turnout - max herd 6. Plenty of grazing
Floodlit school
Lunge pen
Off road hacking straight from yard
Hay £4 a bale straw £1 a bale.
About 20 other liveries
Yard 2
2 minutes from home.
Free including hay etc - I have to house sit which is quite often and help out with her horse in exchange.
Stable, individual turn out as only one other horse, plenty of grazing.
School with no lights
Hacking not great but do able.
1 other livery who will only ride during the day when I am at work.
I was all set to go to yard 2 until A, the new job and then B, the other livery that was going to be there and help with the work is no longer moving there.
The idea of yard 2 sounds ideal but is hard work, yard 1 would work well in the fact that I have a new job and the assisted livery will really help.
