Going to look at stables and land for rent on Sunday what should I
be asking and looking for?? I am taking a friend (or two!)
There are 3 large brick built stables, large tack room and 5 acres for
rent in 10 mins from home. Would have another person up there if owner
allowed it - if not cant do it!
£100 a week but no other bills i.e. electricity, water rates, land and
building maintenance is included. (seems a lot of money though)
At the moment I dont know anything else about it what should my
list of question include.
Fencing type and quality. Horse friendly (sheep friendly for
occasional grazing).
Pasture type and quality. Waterlogging. Poached. Dries up too much?
drinking water in fields? Poisonous plants / trees. Sour land.
Muck heap - location, size currently - ease of getting it taken away.
Security (his house is next to land so good )
Shelter natural or possible to put in a field shelter.
Usefulness of field layout ie can it be split, is there somewhere to
school. Could I set up a track system.

Parking for trailer
What does owner understand by field maintenance.
