Livery without a school

[Nari]

I've seen many yards with schools I wouldn't be prepared to work a horse in, I don;t se why you should charge less than them. At my current yard plenty of liveries don't use the school so people like that also wouldn't expect a lower rate bcause you don't hav a facility they don'twant anyway.

Okay, thanks for that. As I say, all the other facilities are very nice.

Are there local arenas available to hire? If so, as a livery, I’d work on the basis of what livery would cost me at your yard plus hiring a local arena a couple of days a week, versus what livery at a yard with an arena would cost. If I broke even I’d consider it. Do you have anywhere to put a canter track in? Or is any of your hacking off road? Not being able to school wouldn’t be a huge issue for me as I box out to lessons and clinics regularly anyway, but only being able to do roadwork would personally be a big downside as I’d struggle to keep my horse fit.

Of course I’m likely not your clientele and happy hackers would potentially be delighted with your set up, just thinking how you could appeal to a broader audience.

Thank you.
Yes, local arenas to hire and the hacking is good (a mix of country roads and bridleways). The ground is quite sloping which makes a grass arena/canter track/school more difficult/expensive to install. 20 minute ride to a local estate that sells yearly passes (canter tracks and some xc fences), 20 min box journey to a local forest with riding tracks. There's lots to like, but it will obviously best suit people that like their hacking and outings and can exercise their horses within daylight hours.
