our YO is very laid back! its a very child and dog friendly yard. the only major ones i can think of is the muck heap needs to be built properly and if you borrow some one elses equipment e.g broom, feed scoop but it back where you got it from! things tend to go missing... but other than that our yard is only small and we all tidy up after ourselves. theres the obvious keep gate shuts, no smoking, dont leave objects that will causes injuries laying around etc but thats really just common sense around horses

No horse to be left unattended
Gate to be locked if on your own and not near containers

All horses must be on teh worming program

Basically all common sense things that should be done anyway.

No dogs.

Use the stall allocated to your horse, put your horse back where you found it, or leave in and I'll turn out later.

Do NOT tie up next to Zeus if he is in, or use his walkway to the fields.

Your children, your responsibility.

Smoke outside the barns.

That's it.

In a stable...

No smoking, keep gates shut, clear up poop in yard or school, don't leave a horse out on its own... can't think of anything else really.

And Brighthair- please don't tell me you leave your fag ends in fields where horses graze?!

I move about between 3 different yards (due to uni

) and none of them have any unusual rules. They all allow children and dogs.

Yard 1 only has 3 rules (children's yard)
- no music without headphones
- no chewing gum
- no smoking

Yard 2:
- don't lead mares past the stallion's stable
- no hay on the muck heap
- push your muck right to the top of the muck heap
- no smoking

Yard 3
- keep your bit of the yard vaguely tidy
- bring the last horse in with you
- lock tackroom when you leave
- don't allow your horse to dig or roll in the indoor school (nice surface)
- no smoking

None of the rules are exactly rocket science.
