    Shouldn't cause her too much hassle, she may enter a quarantine period at the new yard and may be wormed on arrival.

    I moved my mare after 3 years being at the same yard.

    I moved 7 months ago, now she has loads of friends and quite a few boyfriends!

    I found she settled quite well, even being seperated from her brother. He was also her best friend they did everything together, I was a bit worried about moving her away from him, but now it's like she's forgotten about him!

    (Which is quite good in my opinion he was a unbroke 3 year old who was quite possesive of her and had a crapy yard tht always put her out with him, even though he mae it impossible to catch her.)

    It could be an even better place that you move your horse to. You will never know until you try. If you leave your old yard on a good note and give them four weeks notice I am sure they will be very happy to have you back if it doesn't work out.
