Regular poster but prefer to tell YO in person if i decide to move!
Been looking to move yards for a while but no where has had vacancies.
Went to view a yard other day but need some help, think i just need a kick up the a*se but moving seems so daunting
So which yard would you chose?? 
Current yard- Good points;
Turnout whenever you want, can live out all year or in, have out own field and use how we like.
Nice arena although not maintained.
Okay hacking, mainly roads work but quiet.
Small yard so use of arena whenever really.
Bad points;
Only two stables for 3 horses so have to live out all year round.
Yard not maintained, i.e dog mess everywhere, litter from where he empties wheely bin into 'fire pit'.
Generally quiet a bitchy environment
Yard owner makes up silly rules as she goes i.e one minute can have shavings next you cant etc.
YO hibinates during winter so liveries have to run yard.
No one else competes, so cant go out XC schooling with anyone etc.
Other Yard- Good points;
Fab facilities (Horse walker, bigger arena, lunge ring, gallops, XC course)
Own american barn with one other livery (only me and her as liveries)
Own tack room
YO competes so has offered to help me and always happy to go out places.
More acerage so can rotate fields.
Off roads hacking
3 stables so all can have one
Bad points;
Tiny bit further to travel (although on main roads so works out about same time)
Not so flexible with turnout, i.e have to be in on a night in winter and bad weather (although this doesnt really bother me, i realise current yard turnout is rare)
YO has 25 of her own horses (Has hunters in most of the year for fitness work)but seems really flexible with arena etc.
In opsite direction than work so wont be able to bring in when on lates (only twice a week in spring/summer) but she did offer to do so if i couldnt make it down!
So which one would you chose?
Both have pluses and minuses! Any help much appreciated!
