All at the same time!
I'm due to move home at the end of October, baby due early December and due to the distance we are moving the pony will have to move too.
My current yard is by no means perfect but the horses live out from May to December and then he's on full livery for the winter months while stabled overnight.
Unfortunately I'm struggling to find anything similar in the new area.
I've so far got 3 options.
Option 1, move him to posh competition yard right next to our house but it's very and I'd need to put him on working livery to cover the costs. Even DIY is so when I am mobile again it would still be very pricey and their grazing isn't great although yard is well run albeit very busy.
Option 2 is to move to a yard about 6 miles away. DIY yard but other liveries offer livery services for cash but it's all very informal. Yard is nice, good grazing and hacking, arena is ok.
Option 3, chuck him in a field at my friends and she'll look after him for me for a few months. Cheap and cheerful, about 10 miles from me through so not easy just to pop over and not child friendly as it is just a field but I know he'd be well looked after. Hacking is good, there are other facilities nearby that I could rent if I wanted to ride.
I just don't know what to do as I have no idea how much my life will change when baby comes!!!
