I'm considering a move to Cheltenham for work and obviously want to take the horse with me.

I don't know the area at all and after having a look online Home Farm EC seems to be the yard for me.

Can anyone tell me what it's actually like? The good, the bad, and the ugly.

Thanks :)
 
Don't know it's character livery wise, but we go there for comps and like it very much. A smart set up with lovely arenas, carefully looked after and friendly people.

The yard is geldings only, right next to the train line (doesn't seem to bother the horses in the slightest tbh), grazing is totally flat so very little shelter. Can't imagine the hacking there is up to much at all as you are bordered by the train line, rubbish dump, Cheltenham and rather busy roads. If you have a box then you can get to good hacking up on Cleeve hill easily though.

There is a bridleway at the end of the lane if you carry on past the enterance which goes to Elmstone Hardwick where I believe there are more bridleways. Road work can be done around Brockhampton and Swindow Village, there are loops and the roads aren't hugely busy. I have PMed you also.
 
I compete there quite a bit. They have a livery yard which has a 20x30 school they can use but they pay to use the indoor.grazing seems ok but looks to flood a bit from what I saw when competing. There are comps most weekends so not sure how that would work if your trying to use the warmup? The owners are super nice though and comps are well organised
 
Hi
We have a space coming up for Full care livery at Withington which is on way out of Cheltenham on a40 5 miles from town. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Withi...s/194824150970
Great Facilities which includes indoor school, outdoor school, walker, round pen, solarium great hacking 900 acres on the estate and lots of adjoining bridle ways and quiet roads, Sj, XC, trailer parking etc. ab lib hay and straw and 7 day a week care. If you would like any extras (hacking schooling mane pulling etc) these can also be arranged. Hard food is just charged at cost price any brand/ amount you like. We run a BE event here in April each year which is available for schooling after the event but there is also another field for xc schooling for the rest of the year. During the summer we have a Sj course on grass for practice as well as the normal sj in the arena. There are lots of Visiting instructors vets physio’s ect or you are very welcome to being your own.

If you have any questions or or would like a look around please feel free to PM me.

Best Wishes

Lynne
