Please can anyone help i have searched the net and half the yards dont have sites im looseing the will to live can anyone help me find somewhere that wont cost the earth and is not a hole! please please please
 
Maidenhead:

Yards I can think of are:

Canon Court Farm
Lee Farm, Pinkneys Green
Woodlands Farm, Cookham Dean,
White Place Farm, Cookham
BCA, Buchetts Green,
Moor Farm, Holyport
Cresswells Farm (I think it's called), Holyport
Another livery place a little bit past Holyport on the same road, left hand side, going away from Maidenhead.
Berkshire Riding Centre - Between Maidenhead and Ascot (Winkfield area)
Glennifer, Hawthorn Hill
Wayside - out Fifeld Way
Lakeside - getting towards Windsor - and a few others around the edges of Windsor Great Park
Lots of polo places around that neck of the woods too
Hollands Farm, Bourne End
Meca Riding School, Wooburn Common
Whitelocks Farm, Shurlock Row
Place in Wargrave (begins with a G I think, but can't for the life of me remember).
Another one - again the name escapes me, down the bottom of Cherry Garden Lane, Littlewick Green.

Try looking at the noticeboard at Countrywide in Twyford (on the A4) there's usually quite a few listed on there.

There's a few more, but I can't think at the moment.
 
I know the feeling... There is a massive gap in the market for Decent DIY Livery... Us DIY'ers seem to get the shabby end of the yard offerings in the back of beyond with terrible (if any) facilities...Thats unless yoy want to pay a fortune for someone else to do it all for you, and whats the point in doing that...might as well not have a horse..
 
Countrywide replaced their board on Monday I think - now it's a fancy little thing where you have to write on a little card, so the huge pile of adverts pinned on that board have gone.

However I did see one advertised at Eileen Douglas in Wokingham this afternoon, it's at Pinkneys Green, all year T/O excellent hacking off road woodland jumps, KH Bridleway, floodlit menage, quiet location, 6 stables, (I think the next bit says training with Inernationally Successful Professionals - camera wonky! sorry can't see phone no either - we were being shoo'd out at 5 to 5 as they wanted to shut) email fairviewstables@yahoo.com. There is another one on a bit of laminated card but didn't have time to take a photo as they wanted us out of the shop and we had a bit of a pile to go through the till - I was only looking while, daughter chose a new Breyer for her stables.

To add to Faro's list there's Bill Hill and Keyersbridge near Hurst, not sure what they offer. There's also something in the PO window at the mo, but not sure what facilities, won't be back there till the weekend as the ford's flooded and it's a long way round!
