Livery Yards around Bristol? Any help appreciated

[sz90168]

I am looking to move to the Bristol area around end of Feb/March next year as my partner just got a job near Bristol Temple Meads Station. We are looking to life around East or North side of Bristol. I am looking for part livery or assisted DIY around that kind of area. The yard must have a good turnout, floodlit arena and decent hacking. Are these things impossible to find? I do not know anything about the equine scene in that area, are there even many yards and is it a horsey area?

Any help would be much appreciated. I have one quiet and well behaved mare.

There are loads, depends really where is easiest. Bitton/Wick has a fair few yards with floodlit arenas but mostly road hacking (the Meadows (recently reopened under new owners) has good facilities but floods a LOT)

Pucklechurch I'm told has great hacking, as does the area near Yate/Frampton Cotterell. I wouldn't be able to name any yards though.

You could try :- www.leylandcourt.co.uk (I used to ride here many moons ago- looks like they've got some good facilities) or www.wapleystables.co.uk or www.hickscommonlivery.co.uk can't recommend any as I moved to Lincolnshire. If I think of anymore, I'll add them. Good luck.
