Desperately looking for a field to rent in lancashire

[Natalieshort]

I currently have 1 horse but would possibly want two more, the yard im at now is so bitchy so im looking to find a field with afew acres. I would be willing to pay for everything like eletric fence, fencing, etc. If anything broke (but i doubt would since shes so placid!) i would pay for! it would need water supplies though and maybe shelter or i could build my own non-permanent stables! Anything helps please! i desperately need to move of this yard, shes my first horse and i didnt know it could be so expensive at times! i want the best for her, please let me know! thank you so much!

We are in your area if I see any adverts offering then I'll let you know. Best places to look are on the boards at farm shops etc. There is WCF at claughton (near Halton), tack shop at Slyne, Carrs Billington at Garstang, possibly even worth putting up adverts at Booths as they are free and plenty of rural peeps shop there. If you can afford alternative livery I know of some very good non-bitchy yards that are not too bad on your pocket which could be OK in the meantime. IMHO you are better keeping one horse well than three on the cheap and struggling, but not everyone sees it this way. Also if you are going it alone be sure that you would be able to have cover for when you are away/ill, it is not just like you can contact the YM and get them done.

thank you! i will put some ads up in the shops, if you hear of anything please let me know! thanks!

Call up your local council i am sure they rent out land at exactly this time of year anythings worth a shot im in lancs too its a joke trying to find any land i was lucky but ring them

 

[Natalieshort]

Yeah I've rang the council and they have nothing either !!

 

[staceyn]

ONly other thing is keep looking online . Or go looking for houses with land and ask if they know who owns it that's what I did

 

[Natalieshort]

Really? What exactly did you say and where abouts in lancashire do you live?

This is a little horsey site covering the Lancaster area, you could put a notice there: http://members7.boardhost.com/bentham/index-1.html

There's actually a notice on this site posted 3 days ago which says

"To Let 1 1/4 Acres grazing land two field shelters/stables very private and secluded, £40 per week for the whole lot."
