Hi all

I have had an offer accepted on a house in the Somerby area and need to find livery for my mare. I don't know the area at all, as currently in Bedfordshire. I know there is the Equestrian Centre in Somerby and one in Burrough Hill - but where else is there?

I need Assisted DIY or Part Livery and must not be individual turnout. A school is preferable but not essential.

Where should I go to look for livery? I don't know where the tack and feed stores are that might have adverts. In my experience the best yards often don't advertise anyway. Arrgghhh!

I am in the area over this weekend so be good to know where to start to look - I think we might move as quickly as 6 weeks so starting to panic!!
 
C & C Equestrian, Tilton on the Hill. We offer first class care for horses and ponies. Friendly yard, floodlit menage, 24 hour supervision, secure tackroom, all year turnout. Miles and miles of wonderful hacking on beautiful quiet lanes and brilde paths. All livery is inclusive of our home grown haylage, straw bedding, mucking out, turnout and bring in. From £45 per week. We also sell hay, straw, logs and freezer lambs. Tel: 0116 259 7402 0791 374 4263 or 0771 551 6850 CC Feb-Apr15

Owston Lodge is the one you're thinking of, a friend used to ride there she loved it, the hacking is fab!

Thanks, have already made contact with Somerby EC and Owston Lodge. There is another one in Somerby and also another at Burrough Hill, so be interested if anyone knows of them. Will look in to the one at Tilton on the Hill.

Any other thoughts welcome :)
 
Somerby Equestrian Centre offer part livery, turnout is in small groups. Great facilities and great hacking too. There is also a small yard in Pickwell - think they do livery. Add 'Louise Black' on Facebook and ask her as she is running that yard atm. There is a small DIY yard along the road between Burrough and Twyford (nearer Twyford) which has a school - think they may offer assisted DIY. Also, one on Rotherby Lane, Gaddesby which do assisted DIY and have group turnout and an indoor school. Hope this helped! :) PM me if you want to know anything else!
