Livery yards around Wellington, Somerset

I'm sure that you read my post about possibly giving up Jazz, or horses in general. If not, here is a link to it:

I was just wondering if you know of a brilliant livery yard (that will do part livery - i.e. mornings) with good hacking and turnout. Jazz freaks out in a school so this is not a priority, but one within hacking distance would be good.

Jazz is 17.2hh so needs a reasonable size box but is pretty easy going and easy to handle. It's just the riding side of things which are more exciting.

I'm willing to travel 15 miles or so from Wellington but the nearer the better really.

PM me if you prefer.

Many thanks,

E

No-one?!

There might be space at heazles or there is Mr Hart livery but I think they are diy so not sure if they would do part livery, they are pretty much opposite Regency House, in Hemyock

Heazle's pretty much off limit. I get on with YOs fine, but I kept two horses there before and wasn't chuffed with the standard of the facilities (upkeep etc). I don't think owner would let me keep Jazz there anyway

Haven't heard of the other yard before - that could be worth investigating

Thanks ldlp111 x

Or not sure if The Gallops at West Buckland do livery maybe worth a call

 

[ldlp111]

website here http://www.horsegallops.co.uk/ doesn't say about livery though

Netherclay was one I was thinking about, and Comeytrowe. I will have a look at Lower Colley Farm as well

You are brilliant! X

 

[ldlp111]

There's probably loads more but all I can find/think of at moment

 

[Eriskayowner]

Thanks. I only know of a few - which have now all been mentioned. I'm sure there are LOADS of others in the area and I know that the best way of finding a good yard is by word of mouth. Thanks for all your help xxx

Comeytrow seems an arganised, good standards yard, with good facilities, when i visited them.

 

[Eriskayowner]

Oh cool I have heard good things about it, and it is really close to work. I also have a friend who works there (head groom) so I know that the care will be excellent. It's starting to sound promising

 

[ldlp111]

or http://www.newhallequestrian.co.uk/livery_charges.php might be wrong direction for you though not sure about the hacking either

 

[Eriskayowner]

Newhall looks great and actually pretty good value, but might be a little bit too far My sister lives in Exeter though, so she might be able to play with Jazz with me if I move him there. Also worth thinking about!

 

[Eriskayowner]

OK - I think my main options are :

Comeytrowe (literally round the corner from owner and have a friend who works there).
Netherclay (have another friend who keeps her horse there)
Newhall (further away but fab looking facilities and hacking. Local RC holds some competitions there as well).

Any other suggestions? Any feedback on any of these three yards?
