Hi lads Could I get a ballpark figure on what you're paying for full livery for a horse in these areas? I now South Dublin is around 400-500 per month full livery but looking towards Louth/Meath, full livery initially maybe changing to half. Flexible around things such as indoor arenas etc at...

Thank you all for the great advice. Currently, we are considering trying a nearby livery yard for 6 months - 1 year, and maybe then building our own place on our property. I don't want to rush in or do anything wrong, but at least after that I'd have a horse (will be my first) who I'd know...

Yes, I am! :)

No, perhaps not but livery options here would be approximately 800-900 euro per month for my partner and I ;) :)

I don't suppose you'd have any photos to share? it sounds like a good idea. :)

Thanks everyone. I think I have not been as clear as I should have been as I repasted some of my old thread with my new thoughts. I am wondering about building the stables and an area of hard standing on my own property, with perhaps a small arena/paddock for limited turn out (as I realise it...

Hello I am looking ahead to the future and doing some research. I have asked similar to this a few years ago but things have moved on in our property search so just looking for some advice. I am wondering if a property that has essentially half - three quarters of an acre of paddock and...

In Ireland on full livery I would be looking at 470 euro a month per 1 horse... not included shoes, dentist, any extras I need such as tacks, rugs, entries, etc, etc!

Yes, I've decided it's not worth it but it was good to get all the varied opinions. It might well work for some but I don't want to be stabling most of the time.

Wondering if I have found all the livery yeards in this area, I know of Piperstown, Beltichburne, and Beaulieu House?

You poor, poor thing. Get well soon, change your number or block theirs, and move to a new yard. Maybe family/friends could help you do that while you recover. Life is too short for that nonsense.

FWIW, I have decided it's not enough for us to go ahead with, I see that it is doable but difficult and I want to maintain some land for my dogs and maybe a bit of gardening after all (ok, that bit is doubtful). So we will look for some grazing to rent nearby, perhaps. Thanks for all the advice.

Super posts, thanks for the inspiration everyone:cool:

Hello I am wondering has anyone built the following by themselves, or without a specialist company at least. The arena would be for my own personal horses, max 2, and for turn out and the odd bit of riding. Things we have already: planning permission, space, ability to construct fence...
