I posted a few days ago as I have a horse with an injury who i was all set to turn away however I'm having terrible cold feet and in the mean time another option has come up of a stable elsewhere so option 1 is:-
Grass livery only , 4.1 miles from home , only £100 pcm with hay, arena on site.
Or option 2:-
Stable and grazing with arena in the pipeline , 8.6 miles from home £150pcm all in for diy and turnout etc on top.
At the moment she is lame but it making big improvements every day and barely looks lame now.
At first I was dead set to turn away and give her 6 months to make a full recovery however she is currently stabled in a yard with clay soil and the fields are really bad and they all get mud fever , I'm worried if I turn her away and she gets mud fever badly but then she may not as totally different soil and no mud at all at the moment, however when she does have it she has weeks and weeks of antibiotics and box rest as it's so bad so I'm really conflicted over what to do.
Any advice would be really appreciated especially managing mud fever in a grass kept horse
