I’m just putting the feelers out there to see what Liveries/ private yards are around in the LE67 area or if anyone is looking for a companion horse… Due to having COPD my boy is no longer able to tolerate a stable environment in the summer months and needs 24/7 turn out during the summer and daily turn out in winter as a minimum
My boy is a 14 year old, 14.3 heavy cob. Due to various health issues he is retired so a yard with facilities isn’t really important to us. A small private yard might suit us. Ideally I would like my boy to have a stable should we need it in an emergency or for the winter months when it’s cold as his preference is to come into a warm bed… I’m not ruling out grass livery but we would need a good field shelter…He loves company so my ideal would be for him to be out with a very small herd but no bossy types as he has a tendency to get bullied and won’t defend himself…. He is a beautiful soul and would be the perfect companion for someone but he stresses if left on his own so he would need to be somewhere he can see and be with other horses at all times…
Although my boy is retired he is my world. I’m happy to consider retirement livery options but I will not move him to a retirement livery yard where I can only pop in occasionally. I want to see my boy every day and be his main care giver however due to work commitments somewhere with assisted DIY and holiday cover would suit us well… As close to the Ibstock, Markfield, Market Bosworth, possibly Ashby and surrounding areas as possible ☺️
