I am looking for grazing/diy livery in the dunkeld, spittalfield, meiklour, blairgowrie area. Can anyone on here recommend anyone?

I am new to the area and don't know anyone here but am despretley looking for grazing or cheap DIY Livery for 1. I lost my horse at teh end of 2010 and as I knew I was going to be moving at some point last year - put getting a new horse on hold till I was moved and Settled. i.e. now. I need to get grazing/livery sorted before I can get my horse can anyone help please??????

Thanks
 
also if you are a newbie to the area it's worth looking at old HHO posts re the area. For eg, not on livery but on all the other things you might need, heres a snippet of Poacher82s reply to someone moving to the area last year which might be helpful, I have just cut and pasted:

Poacher82
"Farrier: Neil Chalmers, who you've found already. Good farrier, does a good job. I don't have anything fancy, but he did a good job corrective-shoeing my friend's dodgy-footed horse too. I've found him as reliable as any farrier :0)
Vet: I use Harbit & Ryder, who have practises in Pitlochry and Aberfeldy. Ryder is an FEI vet who heads up the vet teamat Blair Castle 3DE - good enough for me! Not sure who else there is though, if you are Blairgowrie way you might need someone nearer.
Feed: Davidsons base in Blairgowrie, and delivery locally (inc Pitlochry) which is handy, and do livestock stuff too. McCash's in Perth are good, will order things in and hold them for you. Also do a limited amount of clothing, tack, supplements, etc, plus pet stuff, chicken feed etc. Also Country Corner in Perth.
Tack: As well as McCash's, there's Stirlingshire Saddlery and Kicking Horse in Perth.
Hay & Straw: like hens teeth. I'm lucky I get it from the farm where I'm a tenant.

Recommend Strathearn Riding Club - a small, but friendly bunch. Regular SJ lessons with Ernest Dillon, just getting regular XC lessons underway at Strathearn Eventing too, and competitions held at Gannochy in Perth"

hope this is useful!
 
Thanks, unfortunately it's one of those yards that as the crow flies its about 20 miles away but over an hour to get to from my house which isn;t suitable, as there are yards on the southside of perth that I could access in half that time (traffic dependant). I will trawl thru older posts.

Thanks again,
 
You could find all the horsey shops (feed, riding clothing, tack etc) in your area via Yellow Pages or Google. Then go to them and see if they have a notice board. The ones round here all do, with lots of ads for livery/grazing.
