Now this to me would suggest that he's mucked out, fed and watered, rugs changed, maybe turned out or a light groom. I've since realised that full livery, is a very shoddy skip out his bed was absolutley filthy one day , a huge handfull of haylage is thrown over his door at 4pm he usually has a haynet so has eaten this by 5pm. And thats it. His rugs weren't changed for 2 days, meaning they were all crumpled and itchy, and he also hadn't been out of his stable for 2 days, meaning he was very depressed and bored.
Am I just being soft? Do some yards, consider this ok? I just feel awful for him Bethie Well-Known Member 22 February Joined 16 May Messages Full livery means full care!
Totally unacceptable and potentially very detrimental to your horse's health and well being. If that was what the yard considered to be full care I wouldn't be staying at the yard.

I also see full livery as full care - just as the owner wants! I also see full livery as including exercise, otherwise i see it as part but i think a lot of people have different opinions on this. Joined 19 March Messages 1, Was there any reason that he was kept in weather?? Even then would expect muck out and a skip out for full livery. Up here full livery doesn't include grooming horse so can't coment on that part. Brummyrat Well-Known Member 22 February Joined 20 June Messages How much did you pay for that?
Thats not what Id call full livery but sadly Ive heard this story many times before, some YOs, if they know the owner isnt going to be down, cut loads of corners, Im lucky that I have friends down there to care for mine if I can't manage to get down.
Also, in future Id make up the haynets for them so at least you know he's getting a decent amount of hay in the evening, even if you make them pretty huge nets. Joined 27 January Messages 11, Location In a stable I also work there at weekends. That is what I call full livery. Joined 9 August Messages 4, Joined 11 January Messages 2, No that is definitely not acceptable! Where I work part livery means muck out, hay, feed, water, walker, rug changing, turning in and out and skipping out last thing.
Full livery would be this plus grooming, exercise and possibly tack cleaning. But even just a walk in hand for 10 minutes, get him out surely. I'll have to say something tomorrow. Peacelily Well-Known Member 22 February Joined 22 May Messages I would be voting with my feet, personally. Incidentally, is there any reason that you end every sentence with an exclamation mark? Thats not full livery in my book, although I guess it would depend how much you are paying.
They were only brought in if the weather was really cold, their outdoor rugs were kept on, they were fed and watered and hay was given in the field.
They would bring them in for the farrier or vet or if I called to say I was riding, but I had to fight for that. Joined 10 February Messages Location essex. Totally disgusting and i would move instantly do not pay them another penny!!! I have just come from somewhere very similar and moved as soon as i sussed them out.
Never been so angry so know how you must be feeling x. Unpackaged bedding, such as straw, needs to be stored in a cool, dry place such as a weatherproof barn, to prevent it from becoming mouldy, dusty and unusable. Consideration should also be given to storage security to help prevent the theft of bedding materials. The availability of certain types of bedding materials may be affected by the time of the year, the success of a harvest or the presence of suppliers in your area as costs can increase when supplies are limited.
The majority of bedding materials are biodegradable; the only difference being the timescale in which each rots down. The method of waste removal may influence the choice of bedding material and therefore livery yards may stipulate what type of bedding must be used. For example, an increasing number of yards have to pay for the removal of muck heaps, which makes the amount of waste important.
There can be significant differences in the amount of waste produced from each product when mucking out. Further information on the storage and disposal of muckheaps is available from the Environment Agency, Defra and the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency.

Journal of Equine Veterinary Science. P Werhahn, H. The boss has a lot of horses in the yard, so I ride out between 3 to 5 lots per day, the first of which I pull out at After second lot, we have breakfast which tends to last around twenty minutes, then after last lot we tend to the yards, which involves sweeping and, eventually, feeding the horses. This involves brushing, haying, watering, skipping or mucking out and feeding the horses. Staying as fit as possible is very important, so I often go for a run after evening stables or to Oaksey House in Lambourn and use the gym there.
On days where I am going racing, I have to make sure to leave at the right time to get there about an hour before my first ride. Usually I drive myself, but sometimes I manage to get a lift!
