Livery in Bedfordshire

[EddieB]

Hey,

Please help, I need livery for one in Bedfordshire with herd grazing or option to restrict needed and I am happy to consider anything from DIY to 5 day livery depending on distance from my house. It would be lovely to have a school with some kind of lighting but it seems to me that not many places have lights around here? I would prefer to be within 15 minutes of Bedford due to where I work the Ravensden/Thurleigh end would be easy for me but I would like to hear from anyone with any ideas.

Anyone?

Ta.

I know someone near Huntingdon- is that too far for you?

 

[EddieB]

Hay Attie, Yes too far but thanks anyway!

 

[Attie]

Oh well, good luck anyway!

 

[EddieB]

Bump.

Wilstead RS offers livery of all sorts and might have some spaces at the mo ... is that too far for you?

 

[EddieB]

It isn't TOO far but further than I would like really. Also wouldnt touch it with a bargepole but thankyou EmsHooper anything else you can think of?

 

[Orson Cart]

I can think of a few places on the MK side of Ampthill - but that would probably be too far for you.

How about Wootton? I have no idea if there are spaces, but next to the bridleway by Wootton School there are quite a few fields with stables ... might be worth tying some notes on gates around there?

May I ask why you wouldn't touch Wilstead? PM if you'd rather - I don't know anyone there, but am always interested to know people's opinions ...

The woman I share our yard with has moved her horse recently from somewhere around Bedford. If you would like, I could ask her where she kept hers?

Thanks for those ideas. Any info you could get from other horsey friends would be a help too.

Have a look on the notice board in G&M Growers? Sometimes Biggleswade Saddley has liveries on their website.

[EddieB]

SS too far but Houghton C would be a possibility so I will look into that. Thanks!

You could also go and enquire at the equine shop on the Flitwick/Steppingley borders. Can give you directions if you don't know where it is. She often carries details of local liveries going ...

Is Backnoe End at Thurleigh any good? It is a riding school but they do take liveries as well.

I dont know that feedstore that would be helpful, I could head out there.

Am going to presume you know my neck of the woods and direct you from Ampthill ...

Go through Ampthill to the roundabout between Ampthill and Flitwick that has the Shell garage on it. Turn right at this roundabout and then left at the roundabout immediately after it. Follow this road all the way to the end, where it meets a crossroads - go straight over crossroads and the equine store is about 20 yards down the road on your left ...

Try ad in sharnbrook animal feeds on the sharnbrook to Souldrop road.

 

[Joss]

Not very good at Bedfordshire geography but there is a very nice yard at Gravenhurst (very near Silsoe). No idea if spaces. PM me if necessary

 

[EddieB]

Thanks Joss but Gravenhurst would be over half an hour away so to far.

So far I have crossed out Backnoe/Wilstead RS/Sunnyside/Gravenhurst/Tinsleys

I sound fussy but these are all crossed out for different reasons I know I will have to compromise but they all have something missing or to far away

 

[Odd Socks]

I don't know if vicarage farm in kempston has any vacancies, they have ménage, round pen and small xc course and herd turnout. At least they did when I was there. May be worth a go? Alternatively you could ask at box end animal feeds as they'd probably know if your looking at that kind of area?

 

[loopylass]

Try contacting Backnoe End at Thurleigh - if Sharon can't offer livery, she'll probably be able to recommend someone locally. If Backnoe End have been crossed off then there's always The College EC at Keysoe - they do livery. Failing that, put up an advert in local Post Offices of the villages you'd like livery in or near and I'll bet you'll get a good response.

Bump to catch a new crowd

Thanks for all of your suggestions so far but I still dont have anywhere.

Too far for DIY I'm afraid. Do you know of any part/full livery out there?
