Rule of 6 and livery yards

[NearToCompletion]

Just that really. If it's illegal from Monday for more than 2 households or more than 6 people to gather in or outside, how does that impact DIY liveries on busy yards?

I can’t see why it would make any difference tbh... at our yard you’d only ever be likely to see 2 or 3 other liveries at a time and everyone’s busy sorting out their horse /riding etc. It’s a big DIY yard with around 60 horses but pretty well spaced out

I think many of us are waiting for confirmation on whether exactly there need to be any changes to things like lessons, clinics, shows/competitions in light of yesterday's announcement, or whether that falls under 'organised sport' exemption. But either way, going to a DIY yard to care for your horse surely isn't a social gathering so wouldn't be affected by the 6 person rule? I think to be 100% safe yards should probably be avoiding having too many people on the yard at once, limiting how many people are in indoor areas such as offices, tack rooms, feed room etc at once. and/or not organising social get-togethers but that was all the same before yesterday's announcement in any case? Are there regularly more than 6 people within close proximity to one another on your yard 'normally'? If not then I wouldn't worry.
