I am now officially a YO- Livery Yard Open Day and First Day

[volatis]

that really does look a super set up

 

[audrey5050]

Wow!

Amazing yard.

Good luck

 

[haycroft]

That looks fantastic...congratulations...i wish we had yards like that around my way....lovely clean and fresh

Be nice to see a pic of the yard when all the horses arrive and get settled

 

[MillionDollar]

Thanks everyone

Haha, it's already dirty, thats why I took piccies when it was clean, it won't ever be that clean again

There are 30 stables but in no way are we wanting to fill them all up right now, just want to have it half full and get used to it all. I have hardly advertised yet either.

carthorse- Thats my fault, I've always lead my horse to the mounting block then walked up to get on. Whenever I walked up the steps at the same time the horse would drift away

maybe just me?

 

[Sooty]

What a fabulous yard!

You really have thought of everything, and I love the tack cupboards. Also love the bowls of snacks for the horses!

Good idea using tyres for that. I wish you the very best of success with your venture.

 

[Gorgeous George]

it really does look amazing, wishing your business all the best.

 

[Fiona_C]

What a fabulous looking yard/facilities.

 

[viola]

It looks fantastic! I would love to have one like that! Lucky you

 

[SpruceRI]

My dream!!!!

 

[Enfys]

I can honestly say that I have throughly enjoyed watching the birth of your yard, I think that you and your sister have done a wonderful job and deserve to be proud of yourselves.

I wish you the very best of luck, and lovely (and appreciative) clients.

Good Luck.

 

[Grumbledor]

Fantistic, what a wonderful place to be. Wishing you the best of luck with it all

 

[ISHmad]

Wow, looks stunning. Good luck with it all, I should think you are going to be inundated with liveries...

 

[flowerlady]

It's lovely Claire . Well done and all the best for your new career venture.

 

[FRESHMAN]

Well it looks lovely. I really hope things go well for you. I am about 6-8 weeks behind you. Are you as nervous as I am?

 

[MillionDollar]

I was extremely nervous about 1 month ago

Couldn't sleep or anything, henryhorn knows

But I'm ok now, just hope it stays that way!

I've heard about your yard and it sounds AMAZING!!!! Like the best yard in the world

I'd love to see piccies

And Good Luck, you'll be fine, everyone will love it!

 

[PeterNatt]

What a lovely yard.

Where the buildings purpose built?

What stables did you use?

How long did it take to get planning permission?

 

[calon]

it all looks great you have put a lot of thought into planning for horses and owners good luck sure you will do brill

 

[MillionDollar]

Yes, where the stables are the building is purpose built. The stables are IAE Equestrian and made of recycled plastic. PP was quite easy to get thank god and took a few months to achieve.

 

[Taboo1968]

WOW!!!!! What a fab yard... well done... and I hope it all goes well for you.....

 

[Patches]

How long ago was it when you were knocking down the old buildings and clearing space ready to start?

I have really enjoyed all of the updates along the way and it's great to finally see it all completed. Best of luck with your business venture. It's a truly brilliant yard.


Now.....how to do I convince Duncan to sell the cows and follow suit?

 

[appylass]

I used to live in Warwickshire, whereabouts are you? Just being nosey!!

The yard looks amazing, you must have put in so much hard work .

Congratulations and very best wishes for every success.

 

[MillionDollar]

We're 2 miles from Moreton Morrell

Patches- Thank You! Nag, nag, nag

And tell him theres more money (hopefully!!!!!!!!

) well there will for us as farming sheep simply makes no money

Building started last July, that was the very start of pulling the old buildings down, the builders had a month off aswell, so nearly 9 months of building.

 

[jewel]

wow it looks amazing good luck with it

 

[spitchwick]

WOW, and it's SOOOOOO clean!!!

 

[AmyMay]

Wow - you've outdone yourself.

Looks really, really smashing.

That's where my problems lie.....dairy farming is on the up now that we've signed exclusivity contracts with Tesco. 29ppl and we supply 2600 litres each day (or thereabouts).

Maybe they could afford to branch out and put a new shed up for some liveries? I have two liveries in my little stable block who are fab but it'd be nice to have purpose built facilities and be kept away from the cows, self contained.

Are you having a XC course put in anywhere? Not sure how many acres of land you have.

 

[BeckyD]

That looks absolutely amazing, wish you were closer! Good luck with it, though I'm sure you won't need it with a ncie set-up like that!

 

[woolly]

stunning and loads of thought shown! The very best wishes for your yard for a successful future!
I would be making personal use of the solarium! specially in winter! Lovely!
