I also went through a dealer. It was only a few hundred pounds more expensive than buying privately and it felt much safer - all the...

For me, the main problem with the DIY setup you describe would be the inability to bring in in the dark with a headtorch. I think...

Generally a rule that no horse is left alone in the field solves any issue with them churning fields up to come in. Alternatively you...

The good off-road hacking locally would definitely sweeten the deal for me, I actually find an arena less useful than somewhere to go...

I've seen many yards with schools I wouldn't be prepared to work a horse in, I don;t se why you should charge less than them. At my...

I’d test the water at the current going rate. You will likely attract a clientele that is more hacking focused and values 365 day...

See if you cannot re consider whether owners could not turn out and fetch horses using torches when there is no daylight.

Could they not just wear a headtorch to bring in after dark? Or carry a handheld torch? (Or, on the right night, by moonlight? ❤️ )

How would people who work full time jobs be able to bring in before dark during winter? Do you offer a bring in service? Bringing in...

If the hacking and turn out is geniunely good all year around, I don't think much of a reduction is needed - I've paid the same for...

Decent turnout will be critical to attract liveries in this situation
