I’m so glad you’ve warned me! I will not be going up on Saturday now, the search continues ….

Oh really? What’s your experience? You can PM me if you’d rather not say on here.

Thanks for the replies. I’m based in south wales. So Yorkshire is a long way away. I’ve just called Tristar they are coming back to me.

I’m looking at getting a 7.5t built and have come across a builder in York. I have searched the forums and found some negative views but they were a long time ago and wondered if there were any recent reviews of boxes built by Jim Avann/jimmy avann? He’s a long way away so I don’t want to be...

Hi I’m after some advice regarding my horsebox. I have a 2016 3.5t renault master with a payload of 800kgs. I want to carry more than one horse so I want to up-plate it but I’m struggling to get information about how to go about this. I’ve been told the most I can go up to is 3.95t but I was...

We have other fields should we need to Rotate

It would be £140 a week full livery so there would be money to be made, just need to know how much to charge weekly for the whole block and use of school. I have someone in mind who is a qualified instructor and they would also like to do lessons for people not on the yard. The field is a...

Hi I have 5 stables, a tack room and a 20 x 40 ménage that I want to rent out. I want someone to rent all the stables from me and manage the yard. The idea is that person would have five full liveries and would need to make a living out of it. what would be a reasonable amount To charge per...

Morning everyone, I need some advice on British Dressage, I have searched the rule book and can’t find what I’m looking for I have 5 prelim points but as I haven’t been out in a while I want to do intro this weekend. Am I still eligible to compete at intro level?? Thanks

Mines a double - We make our own haylage and straw so that’s something we could look into providing all in. Do you mind me asking how much business rates do you pay per stable? Kamikaze they could use the stables anytime in the summer, I just meant that turnout 24/7 would be available if wanted.

Thanks for all your comments. the farm is owned, so I will definitely look into this diversification scheme. We are doing this to bring in extra income for the farm as there isn’t much profit in farming. So yes it’s got to be a viable business option. has anyone actually done this to their...

I’m available every morning so could do the turnout and I’m also available most evenings too So I could potentially do assisted DIY. My 4 horses are in in the day and out in the night all year round as that’s what suits me but i wouldn’t be happy with that arrangement for the liveries. I would...

I haven’t been on a livery yard for 10 years So I need to become familiar with the prices now. Theres a farm over the hill from us and they charge 25 per week for stable and turnout, no menage. How would you offer part livery? Turn horses out during week? I don’t know how it works.i guess the...
