I shall try to get some photos uploaded tomorrow, fingers crossed that its as easy as it seems .

The school is 25 meters by 45 meters, this is the size the BHS recommened as it is big enough to do flat work and a course of jumps.

I know I have alot to learn about setting up a Livery Yard/Riding School and I am trying to gain as much information before actually going ahead with it. I am hoping to have the Livery Yard up and running this year and to gradually start teaching on my own horses. I am in the process of gainning my licence from the council which is needed to start up a Riding School.

I am definately going to have the Livery Yard and the Riding School British Horse Society approved as I feel there is a need for more BHS input in Caithness.

I am planning to work along side the BHS with everything. I am hoping to train riders for their BHS stages - http://www.bhs.org.uk/content/Ods-Mo...rmation&area=2.

Hope this helps

he hasn't done that for a while as some of the bikers gave her cheek - not her personally just horses and he didn't want her feelings to get hurt any more!!!

I am going to show but shannon staying at home!!!

Hopefully get a lesson with david gatherer through pony club week after - fingers crossed.

**over-the-ord** · 09-Jan-09, 16:38

its hard visiting, when deep down i would love to have her back...

**wickchick** · 09-Jan-09, 16:58

Will have to have a lookie in the transit tomorrow hehe.

I am in the process of doing the outdoor school and going to find out about funding for an indoor school.

Anyway must go get the horses done

disaster has struck - the transit has been loaned to someone else...... will likely be the truck and trailer - but will try and get there earlier to get a good place to park !!!

See you tomorrow Ashleigh!

totally horsey house hold here too, i am 32 and have had and worked with horses since i was 3 ........oh i feel old now 28 years in the saddle no wonder my bum is sore!

**stretch** · 16-Jan-09, 13:59

Horsey too, i have a registered highland which im hopefully gonna bring back into work slowly this year after a very long break.

quick question, does anyone own a hay hutch for their horses? looking into buyin one but not too sure as they are a bit expensive for me, just wanted to know if they are worth the money

Thanks

Hi
I have horses...mainly they are pets but we do some riding club stuff and hacking whenever we get time. Must start doing more cos they are slimmer and behave much better when in regular work!!

Havent tried hay-hutches but they look good (although I would worry that they might blow away if used in the field).
