A friend of mine is looking for a yard near Maidstone that offers full livery - everything included except exercise.
She's very picky but price is limited and my yard is out of that price range.
- A large floodlit school is a must, with a good surface (not too deep or too hard)
- There must be all year grazing on well drained land
- Ad lib hay (ex race horse that has had ulcers so must have a constant supply of good quality forage, not a yard that says ad lib but only actually gives a limited amount! )
- She's a messy mare so would prefer bedding not to be limited to 2 bales per week for example and wants a nice big bed, not just a sprinkle at the back
- Must be able to feed a specific mix due to the ulcers, it's not very expensive but diet cannot be changed and it must be included (will obviously buy own supplements)
- Really wants an indoor school as horse is very spooky in the wind and rain so outdoor schools can be hit and miss in the weather we're having at the moment! Indoor school is not a necessity though.
- A horse walker and xc course also on her list. Again not a necessity
All this for around £100 per week? £120 is her max but for that she'd want most of her boxes ticked. Her standards are very high and horse must be well groomed and beds spotless.
Anyone know anywhere? Because I've come up with a blank, especially at that price in that area.
