Ok I know a fair few of those yards. Not keen on Heronsmere- school is always full of jumps, plus know a couple of people who were not happy with the care. Denbies is shut down as far as I'm aware. Hallega doesn't have the best turnout, it has a long waiting list but seems a fairly good yard. Headley park farm is really lovely, bloody expensive but great turnout, good school and access to saddlecombe's indoor school. Saddlecombe is also lovely, indoor school, outdoor school- not the best turnout in the world and YO can be pretty controlling but the care is superb- costs an arm and a leg though!
Clock tower looks very nice, don't know it personally though, same goes for Bushy Platt. Hope that helps!

I am at Bushy Plat and it's lovely. Excellent staff, great turnout and hacking. PM me if you want more info.

What is the turnout like at the dursdans? Is it in pairs and full day? I saw an awful lot of polite notices with rules on around the place which was a little off putting too! Does the school get really busy? I saw something about having to queue for the school!

Im not sure as Im not there but see them everyday. Lots of turnout. You have 2 schools, one indoor. In the daytime the school is EMPTY!!
Have you looked at Hurstfields or Glanmire or Woodruffe?
The thing with livery yards as there will always be a compromise..It will never be perfect as too many personalities in one patch..

Hurst fields I hVent heard good things about the yo. Have you heard anything?? Glanmire I dint think the hacking would be great. Word ruffle I think they only get half day turnout?

Denbies is shut down as far as I'm aware.

Denbies isn't shut down! It has changed hands a few times over the past few years. I was there many years ago and moved back there earlier this year. Its very friendly and the staff are lovely. I don't think there are any spaces at the moment though

How about Grest Bookham Equestrian? They have three schools, excellent turnout, fab hacking with no roadwork to polesdon lacey or Ranmore common. Know a few people there who love it . Denbies is also in a fab location!!

Thanks but would rather keep my horse in my back garden and it would probably get better care

 

[Patchfoal]

Oh is it that bad?? Sorry only going by a couple of friends I know who say its great..... How about Kate Morrison Equestrian?
