I don't know this yard personally - but have heard good things about it - near Stretton so should be in your area? http://craythornefarm.com/index.html

Hello, In depseration, I am taking to the internet to see if anyone can help me find a suitable livery yard (or as in my thread title, just grazing, or well, any suggestions) as my local feed shop search and knowledge has come up with nothing! Needs to be near Warton (Tamworth, Staffs) - so...

I haven't tried one - but as everyone else has said they are Thorowgood's 'middle of the range' leather saddle. I have the 'top' one which is the Fairfax, but my master saddler said there wasn't much between them except £200 and that the Fairfax had more padding on the seat (and after twelve...

Just to echo what everyone else has said - you really can have it all - if you are organised! My hubby looks after our baby (now nearly 2!) when I ride - and it is great fun now we can all go out hacking around the village together, although I often have to leave them behind and meet them up...

I would think there would be a demand - I am an experienced rider, but recently had a horse that needed re-schooling, and due to time issues I would have loved to pay someone else to just get him over the problems - for a re-schooling problem horse, I would have been happy to pay £20 for half an...

I might have a closer look at Newton Close, it was just full livery last time I was looking, but I know it's been / being taken over. Grendon is a bit too far away - we are already closer to Warton than that, but unfortunately I'm at the point where my current fellow liveries have driven me to...

Hi, Just wondering if anyone knows of any DIY yards near Warton, Staffordshire. I'm not desperate to move (yet) so I'm holding out for a yard close by, preferably with a school.

I have used Sue Brown - http://www.holistichorsehelp.com/ She travelled out to us in Warwickshire, and got good results with my mare

I'm still getting over little bales going from £1.50 two years ago to £4.50! I'm just glad I get hay in with my livery - now if only I could persuade one of my two to eat it!

Pinwall Feeds (near A5 / Atherstone) had some left a few weeks ago, I think it was £35 for a large bale, but that is the cheapest we've found this year for decent hay

I have used Ready Mash Extra on my mare, who lost a lot of weight going into winter. She has been on it for just over a month, and is now looking fab, her weight is perfect and her coat is shining.

I'll second George at Dosthill. Lovely man, will never sell you a saddle for the sake of it.
