So i'm pretty set on moving, scared to say the least!
i've been researching yards locally as i am spoiled with having my yard at the top of my road at present (2 min walk)
I have been to view two yards so far
Yard one -
it is like one of those fancy yards you drive into and instantly think i am not worthy of being here (dressed head to toe in primark, unbrushed hair and all in all a bit of a scruff )
Just by reading this back myself you can see i have a fav but the distance and cost does worry me. My biggest fear is handing him over for services, i know him, i know how to deal with him and i enjoy it, i am worried if people change things up he will go down hill or start to just see me as the person that comes and works him, not the person that does it all
My horse requires the following

My horse requires the following
- turnout
- well ventilated stable
- individual or separate herd turn out
- if restricted turnout in winter there must be usable facilities when dark
