I am constantly looking for a full livery yard in or near Chelmsford Essex with a menage, all year turnout, rubber matter stables (not essential) and horse walker (not essential). I want a yard that will treat my 2 horse as their own. Any recommendations are much appreciated.
 
Have you looked at Westwoods near the A12 Park and Ride? Don't think you can fault the facilities (no horse walker) but there are very mixed reviews on the management.
 
For full livery I would recommend Bellsmard Dressage just 5 mins from Chelmsford, Jenny who runs it is lovely and your horses would ceratinly be treated as there own, has all the facilities you need too :)

I rang Jenny but they only have turnout for 30 mins in a sand paddock from October to May which wouldn't suit mine, I like them to go out in the field as much as possible! x
 
ditto church house farm, they have 2 arenas, jumping paddock and cross country course if you like jumping. I'm pretty sure theres at least 1 box free at the moment (although not sure if a newcomer is due to move in) and the horse I loan will be moving from there beggining of Feb so should be at least 1 box free :)

Ok will give them a call and see if there will be room for 2 in the near future! Thank you x
 
Sorry didn't realise you wanted lots of turnout, shame as its a nice yard (would have moved there myself but was out of budget)
Not many yards around here do all year turnout (I have only just had the pleasure of realising!)
What about Patten Farm in West Hanningfield? I think they offer am or pm turnout in all weather turnout pens and stretch on the walker??
I'm about to move to a yard in Baddow but she only has this space available, I could PM you her number if you like??

It seems an impossible ask what I am looking for and its getting very depressing :( Pattens doesn't have flood lights and I ride in the evenings! Beginning to wonder if I need to move!x Is the yard in Little or Great Baddow? x
 
I run Elite Equestrian in Felsted, we have all year turnout in post and rail paddocks, an indoor horse walker, 25 x 50 floodlit all weather surface and 18 m lunge pen. In summer we have a full set of Showjumps set up on grass, as I event so need grass arena. We have hot water wash down, stocks and solarium. Horses are stabled in rubber matted, auto drinker boxes. Special diets catered for etc. pls call if you would like to view the yard or discuss further. 07810 334246

Ive not been to all theses so no idea on turnout/standards etc;

Elite Equestrian Felsted, Limbourne Park Livery, Runningwell Stud, Norton Heath (maybe look in Roxwell), sure there is one called The Warren as well & Langdales.

I feel the same about the area, it really lacks yards with decent facilities!
Think its Little Baddow (I don't know that part of Chelmsford that well!) But again she doesn't turn out in the mud, stables are huge though. My yard's fields are completely under water still and have been for some time, my boy hasn't been out in a month :(
 
Good luck OP! Unless you're properly minted, you'll struggle to find one... In fact, even if you are minted, you'll probably still struggle!
