Youngstock livery in Glasgow

Quadros' yard will be about 40 miles away.

If YO didn't want me switching about, they could actually do something (anything at all) useful.

If it worked there, it would have to be done this way: A few days of filly and boss mare spending time in the arena together. Then put filly into big field in the afternoon. Boss mare and another one stay out later than the others. Staff bring in most of the herd at 3-ish, but the boss stays out until 5/6-ish. Rinse/repeat and try to figure out how to introduce her to the other thirteen horses, including the two challenging ones.
 
Honestly this sounds like an accident waiting to happen...
There must be another yard with better setup even temporarily
 
Realise this is from last year but was wondering which yard you were looking at in Kilmarnock @Caol Ila?

I’m struggling to find anywhere suitable for a yearling im looking to buy. Feel free to PM if you’d prefer. TIA…

They have no winter turnout, so I would not recommend it. I just used it as a stop gap.

Hermosa's current yard might take on a yearling, especially if it's been well handled. The gelding herd was very good with Caso after we weaned him, and the mares took their auntie duties seriously when he was still with mom, so I know they all have some experience with babies. YO seemed happy to have Caso around (although she didn't have much of a choice, lol). BOGOfs aside, she wasn't at all phased by taking in a two-year old. It had been a ball-ache to find a place that would have Hermosa. So many livery yards hang up when you say it's under four. She's at Sauchenhall Liveries, outside of Kirkintilloch.

It's the same everywhere. Caso's owner and Caso are now in Germany, and when she was sorting out her move, she had to send her sister (who lives there) knocking on doors of equestrian properties to find a yard for him. German livery yards would not accept a yealing, either, so they had to find an accomodating private stable. :confused:

Edit: Just rereading this thread. That was fun. Best HHO advice I ever ignored: send her back to the stud where she came from. o_O LOLOLOL

**(obviously you guys did not know that the stud let her get knocked up as a teenager, and neither did I)

Ah ok… in that case, I’d likely be better off just having him at home one of my more laid-back geldings as I could at least turn them out over the winter. ?‍♀️?

thanks for the info. Will have to keep looking and hope something turns up.
