Am moving to Lymington in March and am looking for a DIY livery yard around Lymington, Brockenhurst or Lyndhurst.

Ideally it will have individual turn out and it MUST have a menage. A horse walker would be a bonus.

I have looked at Pear Tree, Yew Tree and Newlands. However they are all fairly expensive and only do 'assisted DIY ' at £70 p/w. Does anyone know of any that do DIY straight at £25/35 odd per week?

Any to avoid?!!

Cheers
 
Have a look on the NFED website and look in the classifieds section and in the directory. Thats where most yards advertise. To be honest, you will find a lot of small private yards in the forest, but very few commercial DIY yards. For some reason they just don't exist.

Good Luck in your search.
 
Thanks

I have looked on there but have not really found anything that fits the criteria. It does not need to be a big commercial yard, I actually like the smaller ones but just wondered if anyone had any local suggestions.
 
It may be worth placing a wanted ad on there then. I've actually moved my horses out of the forest now, as I couldn't find a yard I liked and could afford. Now I just pop the trailer on the car to ride in the forest. I'm 10 minutes away, but get much more for my money and still have good hacking straight from the yard.
 
Decoy pond farm, near beaulieu. not sure if they do diy?
(023) 8029 2652

there is also a yard at ipley (Ipley Manor). (023) 8084 8815

Both these are beaulieu / lyndhurst direction
 
Look at Ford Farm in Brockenhurst who have a school and a horsewalker but I'm not sure about individual t/o, there is also a yard called Bridge Farm in Brockenhurst on the A337 near Careys Manor that does DIY and has a school, no idea about individual t/o or a phone number either.

You might find your budget is not enough round here for what you want. The going rate round the Lymington area seems to be about £30/week for basic DIY with electric and no school. I really wouldn't recommend going the "other" side of Lyndhurst unless you have your own reasons for doing that - the queues through Lyndhurst during summer can be something else

I'd also recommend putting a wanted ad on NFED - I found a lovely little place along the road from my house (and opposite my friends farm, who has a school we can use

thanks to my advert on there)
 
If you are living in Lymington - there is Warbourne Farm, dont see them advertise much, but they used to have lovely livery, menage and xcountry course. Ipley is nice too (not much grass), or another good bet is looking around sway direction - there are quite a few that way. Not many in Lyndhurst.
