(Full) Livery around Nottingham

[Warmblood-Lover]

Hi there,

This is my first post on Horse and Hound, so please be kind to me . I am currently considering bringing my horse up to Nottingham. She's looked after really well at the moment, but I just miss her a lot. My problem is, that I am only really free in the evenings and at weekends. So I'd probably need some sort of full livery. Possibly even with exercise (lunging, hacking, horse-walker or similar) on up to 3 days a week. It's for a dressage horse and should be as close to Nottingham as possible.

In an ideal world, the livery yard would have all of these:

• Flood-lit outdoor with a decent surface or even better an indoor school
• Open late (at least 9ish) in the evenings
• Turn-out available at least in the summer
• A good instructor (dressage) on site would be great, if that is not possible then the option to bring a freelance instructor to the yard would be required, as am currently lacking transport
• Holiday cover available/ possibly exercise a couple of days a week
• To top it all off I would like to be close to Nottingham (City Centre), however, I'd also consider going in the Derby/Ilkeston direction or maybe a bit north of Nottingham

I realize that this is a monster list, but maybe there is the perfect yard out there?
Looking forward to some input! Thanks a lot in advance!

Try here. Not far from city centre, I'm sure they stopped riding lessons and now just do livery http://elmsfarmltd.co.uk/livery-teaching/about-us/

West bridgford is the closest to the town centre but it's a kids riding school in the main.

I take my horse for lessons at elms farm, it's lovely there and the owner is really nice. I think there are places a but further our at wysall type way that do full livery

Valeview will certainly tick most of your boxes, inc indoor and good dressage instructors plus BD competitions on site.
They are expensive though and have limited turnout.

Another option is Tracey Dillion;

No indoor, but better turn out.

Neither are on the cheap side but full livery never comes cheap anyway!

Thanks all!!

They certainly look good and I'll have a closer look at them! For me turn-out is more important than having an indoor I would think.

Does anyone know of something a bit more in the Derby direction, rather than to the south of Nottingham? That would make it easier for me to go and see the horse after work.

Thanks a lot already!
