Hello HHO, it's been a while!
*disclaimer* yes I have had a search on here before, but I thought I'd post for more up-to-date options...
Well, just finished my first year of university (simultaneous boos and hoorays), and I'm looking for a yard that can easily be reached from East/Central London.
I can drive to the yard, but public transport links would also be fabulous, as my Uni is located near Strand, and I actually live nearish to Old Street and Barbican.
In terms of what I need from the yard - my horse is just over 15hh, and we do schooling and a few low-level competitions, though I am looking to do a bit more given the opportunity:
-Some form of turnout is a must (not fussed if it's only a couple of hours a day, but I need some. He's also used to mixed herd turnout and so that would not be an issue)
-School (not fussed about indoor, just as long as it's all-weather)
-Some hacking would be great (fine with roads, but I would like some around so I could feasibly hack a few times a month)
..and that's pretty much it.
I need assisted/full livery - no need for exercise or grooming or the likes, and working livery is not an option.
At the moment I'm stabled in SE/Kent around Bexley - which is great, particularly from where I live, as London Bridge and Waterloo are a doddle to get to, but the walk from the station is very very time consuming, and if possible I would like to get out of the area, as it's very over-horsed, and it's been on and off for me for a while now.
I would be very grateful for any suggestions or advice, thanks for the read
