A livery rant 😩 why is it so hard?!

[Time for Tea]

Just seen four acres advertised down her guide price £125,000. Probably go for more. It’s not even fenced and not sure you could get equestrian use.

That’s nothing, there is two and a half acres for sale in Burley in the New Forest, lots of oak trees, no field shelter and it’s £175,000.
It’s just crazy

I know, people just landbank these things, they don’t even use them.

Thank you. I am only still there because I am on a waitlist elsewhere. I also do not have a car so limits me even more. Unfortunately (but maybe fortunately?) that yard thst I am waitlisted for doesnt have a huge turnover. I am willing to accept humans make mistakes and won't say a thing over small things but almost every week it seems to be something.

I really hope you find somewhere. It is incredibly frustrating and even more frustrating if you have a high maintenance horse/pony.

That’s good, I’ve not got anywhere to go on a waiting list!!! There are no yards…hoping for a miracle at this point

Did you say you had tried asking farms ? Farmers sometimes want a bit of money coming in! Can the local hunt or riding club help?
It is so difficult I know

I don’t actually know many to ask to be honest, I’m not in with the farming crowd. I was thinking of putting a few notes through doors and see if that gets me anywhere. Yes I’ll ask my pony club DC again but last time I was looking she didn’t know of anything as everyone tends to keep at home x

Is there a local young farmers club you could contact? You might be able to leave a pile of fliers at their next get together
