thank you for all these messages. I will work in Airbus in Filton but I don't know yet where I will live. So now it is not very easy to really search a yard but I would like to understand the functionning in UK to begin my research.
In france my horse is on a yard where they clean the box, they give him food and put him on field every day. If he's ill or something else they phone me or contact the vet if I'm not here and give him medecines. I take some lessons too. I would like to find the same kind of livery and would like to have an idea of the price too...

Thank you again for your help and sorry for my English ....

I have sent you a PM - if you are at Airbus you will be likely to be living on the north side of Bristol and any of the yards south of Bristol will be a nightmare to get to after work, which is something to bear in mind.

hi Celine,

What you need is called 'Full Livery' here. That means that they will muck out the stable, feed, hay, water, turn out in the field and groom for you. Some yards may also ride the horse for you if you need it.

It is quite expensive though, you will be looking at £300 per month probably.

When are you planning to move here?
I will repeat my offer to explain further in french if you need. If you click on my username you can send me a private message.

Why do you say I will live north side of Bristol. Filton is south side of Bristol isn't it?
