So, first of all I contacted the local farmer, who has loads of fields in the area. He said I was welcome to one, but it wouldn't be long term. I had to go to work, so wasn't able to get any more info at that time.
Anyway, I found a yard that was perfect, but 25miles away from my house...which would be a pain in the bum! Still, if Ned would be safe and happy, I was willing to do that!

In the mean time, I remembered a family who has horses not too far away, in a large field. I dug and dug and managed to find an email address. A few days past and I didn't hear anything and (me, being a bit down in the dumps) I didn't think they were ever going to reply.
Then I got a phone call! The woman on the phone said I was more than welcome to keep Ned with her horses! Woohoo!
I hung up, but she called a few moments later. She had called her husband had said they had a field in my village and I was more than welcome to the field, but I should just go and check it was all ok :D Hoorah!! I wandered down and it's amazing!! Really big, nice high hedges! The only problem is the gate, which must be about 3ft tall....not Ned proof!!
So, when I find a friend for Ned, I should be able to move in!! Yaay!
 
I have a companion that I could do with loaning out if Ned needs a friend!

ETA - I'm happy to cover her running costs (feet, worming etc.) so long as she's adored.
 
Cant you not just change the gate to one more suitable ? theyre not that expensive and it would make the field safe then rather than adding things onto the exosting one, the heras panel might be good in the short term of you cant get a gate and want to move quickly
