I have consi When you say you should visit first, what are you looking for? I have horses if I was going to a new yard I'd be looking at well being feed, turn out and stuff like horse walkers wash down etc
All of those things I would say, plus the general feeling among the lads and lasses. Happy crew means happy horses means winners. The place though still needs to have a professional feel about it.
All of that. When I went to Ollys it was clear that the horse wasn't in peak health and they had a cough. Also you see what makes them tick and it might not be a good fit for you.
