Advice on riding near Cirencester please!

[sassy2106]

Hi! I have recently moved to Bibury near Cirencester in Gloucestershire and I am really keen to meet some new horsey people round here and to learn about which are good livery yards and good places to ride in the area. I don't have a horse at the moment and am hoping to buy one next year, but I would like to do some riding and make some new friends between now and then. I am female and 27 and a competent rider.
Thank you!

[annaellie]

No not really I dont mind travling a distance as long as the yard is a good one I did put her on a yd near here but it was awful and could not find another with being new to area

As I\said if the yards a good one i will travel. I had 17.2 gelding that used to rear and box at you and charge people in feild, I found it so hard on every yd in my area I was on and no one could handle him even having a chifney they were not prepared to touch him even to the point give him no breakfast which was made up outside his door so it was just throw it over I was recomended a yd that would handle him if I needed it but it was 2 hrs travel time after going to yard and meeting the staff he was moved there 2 weeks later and remained there till unfortanlly he was pts

Its full of them round here and warm bodies are always required for exercise.

I'm actually 3 miles down the road

Are you still looking for a yard you can get to with Public Transport?
Did you have any joy with the ones I suggested?
