Hi all
Posted a while back as totally fed up with livery yard hassle etc. I've been offered 4 acres to rent at a really cheap rate, but the land needs fencing and I would have to purchase stables and pay for the corner area to be cleared etc for the stables to go on it. It would be on a long term lease of 5 years. I'm just so confused over what to do? I've always been on livery yard on diy, my mum would move her horse as well so we would be able to work it between us it's just it's going to cost us a lot of money to get set up, although I've calculated I would get the cost back in 18 months, plus if we ended the contract at any point we could sell the stables and fencing etc.
Anyone changed from livery yards to own land and got any advise? Do you manage riding in the field etc? There is fab hacking so could keep them fit if it was wet.
Any advice greatly appreciated!
Also would 4 acres split into a winter and summer field be sufficient for 2 horses and a pony? Any advice on how to manage?
Thanks all! X
