    Have you thought about hiring a freelance groom for the few days, if you don't want to move them to a livery yard? What all would you be looking for them to do?

    I usually put my horse out when I'm holidays and have a friend go check her every second day or so. I got a field for €20 a week in North Wicklow.

    I've done this for friends in the past. Have you any friends who would help out? if not maybe ask around local yards to see if they would recommend someone trustworthy to come and do it each day for you
