Handed in my notice at my yard....essex people I need your help!!

[olop]

After having trouble with a fellow livery (long story, dont wish to disclose on an open forum), tonight was the last straw & I have given in my notice, but I have nowhere to go.

Looking for livery in the Chelmsford area my budget is £200 a month. As long as there are friendly people there I have no specific requirements, I just need out of this rotten yard now

TIA

 

[olop]

Bump?

 

[JFTDWS]

Where did you end up and where have you ruled out? pm if you prefer...

 

[rhino]

Give JFTD a pm, sure she's in that area

ETA or maybe don't bother

 

[JFTDWS]

lol, crossed posts there, rhino

 

[olop]

Thank you both

 

[JFTDWS]

bumps back up in case someone else has anything to say

 

[Piccy]

Olop pm where you have ruled out and ill see what I can come up with as well

 

[Tinseltoes]

Hope you find somewhere soon.

 

[dafthoss]

I'm in that area and thinking of a yard move if you wouldnt mind PMing me so I know where to possibly aviod. I have a list of yards and phone numbers if you want them to.

 

[olop]

Thanks again everyone - just bumping this up again

I have heard good things about West Bowers livery, don't know if it is close enough to Chelmsford for you but the postcode is CM9 6RZ tel 01245 222820 - you can google them.

 

[olop]

Thank you - they are literally 10 minutes from my house, will give them a call at lunch, thanks again

Have you tried the Essex Rider, there are a couple of Livery Yards in Danbury by the common but can't remember their names. We looked at the old turkey farm danbury common about 4 years ago, looked nice and the owners - mother and daughter seemed nice but we decided too far from where we lived. Sorry can't remember details.

 

[olop]

Yeah I have a copy of the ER - the only yards advertsing around here are either part/full (& out of my budget) or the Broomfield yard (no hacking or services which doesnt suit) or the one in Little Baddow (we went to see this one & it had some crazy rules which I couldnt be dealing with!!)

I have contacted Newlands as they are advertising in Ingatestone but with the recently burglary Im not sure if they will be taking on new liveries at the moment.

Thanks for your help

Is Nazeing too far for you to travel? It is about 40 minutes from Chelmsford.

 

[olop]

Hi LB, yeah 40 mins will be a struggle, I work in Maldon so will be coming from there in the evenings so even further. Thanks for the offer though.

 

[Chestnutmare]

ooh dear shame your not up my away a bit more

Hope you manage to find somewhere soon, have you googled yard for chelmsford?

 

[olop]

Thanks hun - yeah I have googled, I have a long list to call at lunch so hopefully I will get some joy from that. There are laods of yards advertising up Colchester/Halstead way but its just that bit too far for me
Nobody seems to be advertising around here which is really unusual for this time of year!

 

[JFTDWS]

Oooh Westbowers looks lovely - I've only seen the photos on the ads though

Dafthoss I had no idea you were round my way!

 

[sammiea]

I know a few people at West Bowers & I used to be stabled not far from there at a friends.

If you work in Maldon... why not try Limbourne in Mundon

 

[olop]

Just got back from lunch - the long list I had, the yards are either full or not picking the phone up.

West Bowers is full - looks so nice though.

I thought Limbourne only did full livery, but will give them a ring when I get home tonight just in case.

If anyone has any other suggestions please get in touch

 

[SpottedCat]

Have you looked on here: http://www.*******.co.uk/

 

[olop]

Thanks for the link SC - the nearest yard on there to me is 12 miles away & it only does full livery which will be out of budget, thanks anyway

 

[dafthoss]

Dafthoss I had no idea you were round my way!

Yeah I am in term time but in the holidays I'm near cambridge. If you see a little yellow pony say hi as I dont know any one really round here.

 

[JFTDWS]

Where are you? I'm very near to Norton Heath in my own private place up the road


Aimed at Dafthoss - I know where the OP is

 

[sammiea]

Limbourne do both full & DIY have done for donkeys years, there are services available to.

 

[Bustalot]

There are loads around the roxwell / writtle area, all of which you have probably tried.

You have Brazils and Birkett hall in Woodham Ferrers. There aren't that many big yards on the roads between Maldon and Chelmsford. There are a few small yards down Sporhams lane in Danbury. One of which i went to see a couple of years ago that had a really nice school, owner lived on site etc.

They normally advertise on websites like stabletalk / newrider. Both are quite 'essex based' advertisers. Also maybe check out preloved they normally have stable spaces advertised

Good luck x

 

[dafthoss]

Will send you a PM JTFD
