Working livery?

[Cinnamontoast]

Anyone got a horse on working livery?

If so, has the horse changed for the worse/better?

A friend of mine is considering it for her little cob. Someone's already mentioned it for mine, but I couldn't relinquish control over him! He's a sensitive boy, I think it would be bad for him and I'd hate not to be able to do what I want wheni want.

I spent 6 years riding and working at a busy RS that was dominated with working liveries of ALL types. It suited some, it didn't suit others.

Think a lot of it comes down to the management of said RS/college and staff involved.

Mines on working livery at a college and it suits us well. She's not perfect, so isn't everyones first choice of horse (good as the opportunity to be over worked is
reduced ). It kills me to do it but
financially I have to. She is pretty
well schooled and the main thing I have to 'iron out' when I ride at weekends is having the outside rein used to pulling to the track.
