talk to the BHS on monday - they are a horse welfare organisation and will deal with yards that aren't on their approval list if the welfare of a horse is at risk.
You could also talk to your local trading standards

Can you also be more specific what you mean by "Duty of Care"? What exactly do you want to know?

I looked into this early this year as I had many concerns where I was.
Many issues in relation to safety and security of the horses in their care.
Its seemes it was a grey area.
There are no legal requirements of livery yards and they do not have to be licenced, Funny they can have your horse,the full works unlicenced, but a dog or cat cant be taken into bording with the place being licenced.
The have tried to bring in legislation but so far none.
