Livery in Colchester

[Maz55]

Hi can anyone recommend a good diy/assisted diy livery yard with manege in Colchester or nearby please?

 

[Lulup]

Whereabouts are you - which side of Colchester?

 

[Maz55]

Hi I'm near Fordham/West Bergholt/Stanway area.

 

[Lulup]

There are a few round there - I'm not recommending any, just telling you're ones I know are in tat kind of area,
The Garrison - Fordham
Flint Farm (or something like that - quite near to the Garrison I think)
Cropping Hall - Wakes Colne
Scarletts - practical Stanway I think

There is at least one in West Bergholt but can't remember the name - try the advert board at Priory Saddlery in Boxted maybe?

Hope that helps

Loads in priory but there's crepping hall.
Flint farm
Armoury farm
Enfields farm
Thurgoods farm stanway
Nice place on Mersea island
Janes yard next to kiln
Just a few but quite a few around just depends on her budget
Does she not want to have my old place at garrison then?

 

[Maz55]

what are the charges at Garrison? What's the grazing like?

I was at scarletts before i got my private field, it was lovely its diy with a yard manager that will do bits for you if you call ect

Another vote for Scarletts. I know the YO well, and she does her own freelancing groom bits aswell. Will PM you re the garrison.

Yeah, the yard manager at scarletts gives lessons too. I left before they got the school so i dont know what substance it is, also brilliant hacking

Review - to anyone considering Jane's yard near Kiln, it is without doubt a beautiful yard, with a decent menage, fairly good grazing, and good quality stables. However, the yard is advertised as DIY Livery and it is anything but. Be prepared to be charged for everything because you will not be allowed to have anyone help you with your horse/pony for any reason, at any time, even something as simple as someone leading your horse in whilst you do something else will not be permitted. Your horse will have to be in every night throughout the year, and in the Winter months your horse will have to be in by 3.30pm at the latest. You should also be prepared to accept someone telling you how to feed, how much to feed, when to feed, how to shoe, how not to shoe, how to ride, when to ride, how to school your horse and how...pretty much you will have to accept someone telling you that they know better than you when it comes to YOUR horse. If you can accept all of that, then it's a lovely yard, but if you like to enjoy your horse, then steer clear.
