Deciding to own a horse is a major decision and a big commitment. Not just financial, but there is the time commitment to consider as a horse needs caring for 365 days a year. Among other things, there is the concern of where to keep it and who will look after it when you’re on holiday, ill, working late etc. Horses are not like having a cat or a dog, as most people will happily feed and walk a dog while you are on holiday but a horse?! Most people would run a mile, not because they don’t like horses, but because they are harder to look after, take more time and are generally more expensive to fix if something goes wrong.

The first decision that needs to be made once you have decided to have a horse is where to keep it. Some of us don’t have the option to keep our horses by our house and therefore livery yards offer a solution. Some liveries offer a ‘full’ livery service others a ‘part’ or ‘DIY’ (Do It Yourself) service. Choosing a livery yard suitable for you and your horse might depend on the type of service best suited to your needs, where your friends are or just simply down to location. Other people might be fortunate enough to keep their horse at their own property.

Wherever you keep your horse, there will be times when you need help from someone to care for you’re your horse. Whether it’s just to feed him 1 night or to do everything for 2 weeks, at some point you will need a hand and whom will you ask? For those using a full livery service this shouldn’t be a problem but for the rest of us finding help can be tricky, especially help that is competent and reliable.

Some people might temporally move their horse to a livery yard that offers a full livery service. However getting a stable on a yard when you need it might not be that easy, so travelling even further away from home might be necessary. This option can be stressful for your horse, especially if he doesn’t settle well or is a bit nervy. Others might relay on friends or other horse owners but what happens if something goes wrong? What if that person can’t make it and if the horse is injured who pays for the vet bill? This option can lead to favours been owed or friendship frayed.

So what’s the solution?
