Livery in NE Leeds

[Trixie-1]

Hello,

I am soon (in the New Year) going to be relocating from the South of England to the Leeds area and currently looking for recommendations for livery, farrier and equine vet in the area?

In terms of livery we have pretty basic requirements- grazing and stable (would consider grass livery if stable available for emergencies) with the option for extra help with turn out etc when needed. I have one older, very sweet mild mannered gelding so just looking for a friendly happy yard for both of us!

Any help would be very much appreciated and thank you in advance

Trixie

try www.*******.co.uk or www.*******.co.uk then try for comments on the ones that sound right for you (sorry I don't know its name but there is a nice one with an indoor arena and lots of hacking on the Harrogate rd out of leeds).

Thanks neddy man! Time to start making some phone calls!

Thank you stencil face, currently looking to move to Roundhay or nearby- I'm completely new to the area so all help is very much appreciated!

Wikefield might be the closest one of those for you, its just out along the Harrogate road from Leeds, but most of the others are pretty near too - I'm in the same area as that really, but a bit further out near Shadwell

Hi.
I've just moved to a yard at colton, temple newsam. They have all year turnout - although restricted in winter. Offer DIY / Part or full livery. Very reasonably priced.
And plenty of hacking.

Thanks Stencilface- it seems like beautiful countryside so I'm looking forward to exploring out hacking
Thanks fliffkins too- could you pm me the details of your yard? Sounds lovely!

I am looking to open a new yard at the moment, just sorting out internal stables, and fields to be divided, Not in your area, but we have floodlit arena, Next winter converted high barn into indoor school.
I am just thinking about prices, and wonder what diy liveries with the above pay, I don't want to overcharge, or undercharge, do we provide hay and straw in the rental. It will have free trailer/lorry storage. I am hoping to get a few interested in dressage, and have an instructor come in to do lessons, and run competitions. So any help and advise would be most welcome, We live on site, and have one pet horse.

I think price is also determined by area and what other yards in your area are charging. I came from a DIY yard that was 22 a week which inc feeding and t/o am. 2 outdoor schools and a lunge pen. The yard I am now is also 22 a week but only 1 school, all year turnout and off road hacking direct onto temple newsam. I would say average for a stable and grazing would be between 20 - 26 a week. The higher end to include feeding am and possible turnout.
