Hi all! Been a while ...

Due to a change in circumstance I may have to move my gelding off my current yard in Northampton to somewhere a bit cheaper as I'm currently paying nearly £400 alone for just part livery.

I'm looking through the Internet day and night and can't seem to find anything :(

Stable would be ideal and school is a must but the grazing is most important.

Does anyone know of anywhere in or around Northampton? Doesn't have to be a swanky yard and would be more than happy to help with yard duties.

Preferably eastern areas however not too fussed as long as the drive isn't too far!

Thanks all.
 
This is my current area of expertise! PM me if its easier, but where do you know about and where have you looked?

Mines currently at a yard in Harpole that I found through my physio. I think a lot of them dont advertise and definitely dont have a web presence! And sadly the really good ones have waiting lists. But I can definitely tell you where not to go!
 
I've got 2 friends at New Tunnel Hill and they love it. Its not the smartest yard and can get a bit muddy in winter, but most people seem happy there and I seriously considered it, but they turn out in huge fields and my fat cob would have disappeared never to be seen again!
 
FrankieCob are you only expert in Northampton yards? Or can I pick your brains for yards closer to Wellingborough?
 
If its not too much trouble. Would like individual grazing and must have a floodlit school. I don't want to end up on a bitche yard. Thank you.

Depends really, some of them are a bit far as I am in the nn4 region so don't wish to travel more then 8 to 10 miles at a push please let me know all the same as there just isn't ANYTHING available. I will try to Pm you!
 
Not yet, thanks for your help though. I am desperately trying to look at yards closer to me first as I won't always have transport so will be cycling over at times, need to try and save my little legs! Lol
 
What about John Hope at Grendon, it is run by my YO. Ours doesn't have any space but I think that Grendon does and I believe it's NN7. I could ask for you? Services available, decent school with lights and good hacking straight off the yard.

That would be so great, thanks!
 
no sorry. I've got a friend who has been looking for at least a year now and has found nothing. I dont think yards come up very often, and neither do spaces on good yards!
 
Thanks for your reply. I have found a few yards but only a few spaces. I am keeping 7 on 2 bare acres and its costing a fortune in haylege. No grass left for winter! If anything comes up please give me a shout. Cheers
