Think I saw your ad in Albrighton feeds yesterday been wracking my brain trying to think of somewhere but genuinely don't know of anywhere that turns out 24/7 all year. Telford is a nightmare, for a hugely populated area surrounded by such fantastic countryside there is a complete lack of decent quality yards within reasonable travel. I wouldn't even recommend where I am as they were restricted to 3hrs turnout from Nov to Mar this year.

I know!!
It's proving a nightmare.
I found one place which was nice however no tack room at all, and the tiniest storage area for hay.
I have nowhere at home for tack and rugs and my tack can't live in car.
And field epically far from muck heap
That was on the edge of 20 min drive.
I can stable the mare if needs be but she will box walk, trash the stable and loose weight really badly and get COPD!
Going to look more towards Shrewsbury i think

 

[Irishcob99]

Yes that's my ad in albrighton feeds

I need to find more tack/feed shops to put them up but don't know Telford that well
Any suggestions

No where offers 24/7 turnout all year in this area, you'll need to rent your own field if you want that. Most of the area is on heavy clay so it's awful in winter and I don't know of anyone who offers unrestricted turnout. I know a couple of yards with good winter turnout, but not a single one with unrestricted. Most are limited in winter.
The hacking depends on where you are and what you consider "good". There are a couple of yards over Much Wenlock way which have access onto Wenlock Edge I think - fantastic hacking. However, turnout is limited in winter.

Horses are difficult in this area TBH. I've lived in a few places around England with my horses and this is the worst. Heavily populated, limited yards and very limited land. Small fields, to get to the best hacking you need to box out really, and limited turnout.

The only places I know with 24/7 turnout are people renting fields/yards rather than a livery as such but no arena and roadwork to get to good off road hacking. It's different owners now but you could try Ashwood at Woodseaves (it's just a little further for you though). When I was on there you could choose to turn out 24/7 (but if your turnout was trashed you weren't able to move to different grazing and had to pay to repair which IMO is reasonable)

I do know of one livery yard closer but I would not for a second recommend it.
