I'm having a bit of a musing over my current situation and just wondering if anybody else has been in this situation and what you did / or what you would do if you found yourself in this situation.I currently have my horse on DIY livery (with assistance when needed) at a yard just up the road from me. It is very convenient and I've always been a DIYer as I'm a bit of a control freak and like to do the care of my horse myself. However, for various reasons it's proving not to be suitable, the yard is also, in my view, not very well run, and I'm generally feeling at my wit's end with the place.There are not many other yards in the area and unfortunately the few that exist are not suitable. So I'm in the position where I either stay at my current yard because it is convenient and put up with the issues there, or I look further afield. Anything further away now would really require me having to have part livery and just go once a day. I have very mixed feelings about this as I love being so involved with my horse and know I would struggle to trust somebody else to look after him. My hears sinks at the thought of having to have a reasonable drive to get to the yard. On the other hand, I'm tired and struggle to fit in my other commitments and can afford to pay for part or even full livery. And if I went somewhere more suitable would I be happier over all?Has anybody been in this situation and would did you do if so? Or does anybody have any thoughts about what they would do if they were in my situation?
