Sounds brilliant! Will check that out! Thanks! :)

Thank you, I will look into that!

I am looking for part livery in North London with easy access to central london as I have to get to work daily. Arena is a must and daily turn out is desirable. Any recommendations? I am thinking of Caldecote Farm in Elstree and Frith Manor but am open to more suggestions. If anyone have any...

Hope you don't mind me borrowing this thread, looking for reliable horse transport covering greater London for one day shows and for pick up and drop offs for week long holidays.
