I was wondering if anyone thought any yards would offer free or reduced livery ( extras paid for by me) in exchange for orking there? Thanks

I have been at yards where this has happened, but the person concerned had been a regular at the yard for years and was well known to the owners. It was a riding school and livery yard, and the person concerned worked escorting hacks, teaching and doing yard duties in return for a reduction on her livery. I don't think it would have happened had she just been someone who walked in 'off the street' so to speak.

My friend does this on a yard that she has just moved to - she's not a longstanding livery or old friend of the YM but has met them previously through a mutual friend.

Im sure you would be able to- if you show willingness and are able to carry out yard duties etc to how people expect them to be done? Surley a YO would maybe look into this as an option - as then they wouldnt have to employ anyone extra to do the work? Good luck
