Going to try to keep this brief -
Small DIY livery yard (5 liveries) all horses happy hackers/veterans or small ponies for children. All easy, liveries keep themselves to themselves, well behaved horses, no problems.
One livery has large rising 2 year old which was turned out with my cob all over the summer. In autumn they asked to have individual turnout which meant splitting field in half which they aren’t really big enough to do without getting trashed, but did anyway to keep peace as we hadn’t had any problems up until then. Last few months 2 year olds side of field is completely trashed compared to all others as fields are well draining here. Livery attends everyday but have noticed rugs being left on for weeks at a time, only handle the horse once maybe twice a week, just to bring in give feed in stable then put out. I had to bring horse in this morning as under rug ripped and tangled around legs, horse dangerous to bring in, barging, rearing, throwing itself on the floor to bring in and put out. I just don’t think this set up is appropriate for such a young horse. She was bette in summer when turned out in company but they don’t want to do this. Would you suggest they find more appropriate livery?
