Yard help

[golddustsara]

As many of you kno I need to move yards with my new horse as he is starting to weave and the weaving seems to be getting progressively worse and he can lunge at others in an American barn style arrangement. Having lived out before I got him and being a top level eventer/showjumper before this I feel he is more suited to a quieter yard where he can live out all bar the worst winter weather. Have seen a few yards but am torn between 2:

A:
- Lovely looking yard run by knowledgeable PC instructor who lives on site
- Post and rail turnout to be with her gelding who only comes in during bad weather apparently
- Lovely big stable on offer in non American barn arrangement with window looking out onto ponies in field behind
- Sandschool with showjumps
- Great hacking

B:
- Farm set up which is what he has come from and has been happy in this arrangement
- Stables look a bit old but big enough and would do the job as they only come in when its snowing or extreme!
- He would have to turn out with mares as thats all the farmer has and he was a stallion years ago...
- Great hacking - close to comp venue
- No school but one next door that I could ask to rent
- Very very cheap!

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLP!!!!! I wouldn't mind both as I've come from a very quiet field with my loan horse and equally I wouldn't mind a small yard. Any opinions welcomed as I am flummoxed and am eating waaaaay too much chocolate from South Africa whilst trying to weigh up the pros and cons.

Personally I would go for A, just because I would want a school on site (plus having show jumps). Easier to ride in the winter. Hope it all works out for you.

A - same reason as JoBo, I'd want a school and know if there wasn't one there, I couldn't be bothered to go to the hassle of hiring one.

I would say definitely A. Only pro I can see of B is that it's cheaper, but you'd have to rent the school so extra costs on top anyway!

Definetly would say A, but i am not keen on farmy kind of arrangements, but A sounds lovley

i would not want to move to a yard where you had to hire the school it would annoy me having to work around when the other yard has to use it, but show jumps are on site to soo that is a plus,
good luck for you

let us know what you decide to choose

 

[WandaMare]

A sounds perfect, it does make a big difference having a school on site

Only problem with A-does yours have to come in when hers does? Do you have to bring hers in if you want to bring yours in?

A... no B.... no actually A.... hehehehe

 

[indiat]

A!

Thanks guys! I'm still finding it hard to decide - I'm not normally indecisive, I'm usually impulsive but I don't want to get this wrong. Hmm shall sleep on it! Things are always clearer in the morning
