DIY in Hertfordshire

[Ukunicorn]

Hallo. Currently living in East Sussex I am looking to move closer to family in the Hertfordshire area. I spend alot of time with my mini so looking for a yard that offers DIY. Needs are stall, paddock, and a place for a box of her brushes etc. Ideally a dog friendly place as they grew up together and we go walking often. I will also be looking for accommodation for myself and my dog on or close to the yard. Phew! A lot to ask for yet I have found places like this many times in the past. I can move within a month. I look forward to any suggestions. (I am new to the forum and getting used to navigating my way around. Hoping I landed this post in the right spot!
Michele, Sunshine and Maui.

What part of Hertfordshire are you moving to?

 

[Ukunicorn]

Hi! I am open to areas Within 30-45 mins of Stanmore where my parents live.

 

[Ukunicorn]

Sunshine has a kids program and we have connected with a couple of hospices for her to visit and work her magic with the kids.

These yards are within your travelling time from Stanmore:

Eastbrook Hay Farm.Hemel Hempstead
Puddephats Farm, Markyate
Trowley Bottom Farm, Flamstead
Gaddesden Estate, Hemel Hempstead
Nichols Farm, Redbourn

Google should give you contact numbers.

Fantastic. I will connect with them. Really grateful.

If you're on Facebook, try asking on Hertfordshire horse riders, it's pretty busy and you'll get lots of replies.

Lots of good DIY yards in Chorleywood: Fairfield Farm and across the road there are a number of small yards but can't remember the names. There is also Catlips but that's grass livery.

Is Grove Farm in HA7 still going? That's the closest I can think of.

Thank you..... I joined them and posted a few days ago. Great to get validation that this was a good choice to get the word out.

Great, thanks I will take a look. I have looked at Catlips already and would prefer the option of a stall for Sunshine.

Excellent it’s a lovely yard, I spent many happy years there.

That's wonderful, it's much easier to go in to a barn that is not familiar, with a referral and someone who has been there. I am excited to meet them. Thank you again.

Hi and thank you! I will check them out. So far, the barns have not worked out, nothing bad about the barns, just not a good fit. And looking to move either on property

How did you get on?

thanks for asking. Their turnout schedule is different to mine. I need longer turnout hours. The owner was lovely and we had a great conversation.
