My DD has owned a horse for the last 2 years and been riding for 3. She loves it all and will happily get her hands dirty and give up her time for him...however, we are a busy family and she goes to senior school and has important homework so he has so far been on working livery at a riding school, so is pretty much looked after by them and she goes in whenever she can and rides him (though he is not available as often as she would like!). Trouble is he has sustained a couple of injuries recently and the riders at the school aren't always the most careful..often due to inexperience..and she would like to do a bit more with him. Is there such as thing as DIY livery, but where there is help available for when we can't get in? In truth, how many hours a day does it take to care properly for a horse, I have no idea and want to make sure he is properly loked after? And does anyone have any idea how much it costs?!! Thank you.
