Moving livery yards.......?
I have a bit of a mammoth task coming up soon - I have one day to move three horses, rubbing matting and haybars from their boxes, plus all my gear.
I will move the tack/rugs etc the day before, and I was thinking of going up to the yard early morning, turning the horses out, then getting my dad (always comes in handy!) to help me move my matting and haybars. Then take these down to the new yard and fit them (how long do you think re-fitting mats will take?), then attach the haybars, bed the boxes down, then go back and get the horses.....does this sound like the best way?
If anyone has any tips on how to make this go as smoothly as possible, what are they??

Yay! Good for you!
I think that would be the best plan. I should not think the moving of the mats will take too long, just make sure you give them a good wash before you move them to the new yard! Not a good idea to take old germs to the new yard.
I hope you and your horses will be much happier, and that is the main thing. I am sure the horses will be happier. They do pick up on atmosphere and can react to it, let alone they will appreciate the better turn out arrangements.
Onwards and upwards!
Remember to buy your Dad a beer or something else he will like. Wish I had a good one like you!
I wish you well and look forward to hearing how they settle in.

sound the best way. probably better to have beds down before your horses get there. they will need them straight away.
the matting shouldn't take long.(assuming the box is the same size)
hope it all goes smoothly.
