Hi there

My partner has just been told that he may be transferred to Amsterdam after the summer. Does anyone know of any good, reasonable livery yards in Amsterdam?

There are a few when I google it but they're all in Dutch so thought I'd see if anyone had any suggestions before I start trying to figure out what they all say!

Any info on how to move my horse to Amsterdam would be greatly, GREATLY appreciated.

Many thanks!

Hi Victoria,

I am currently living Just outside amsterdam (my horse went back to the UK last year).

Be aware that if your horse is used to a lot of turnout then that is not really possible in Holland, most horses here (unless you find a yard in the countryside outside the big cities) spend the majority of time stabled with turnout being in a sand paddock for a few hours.

I can recommend a couple of places which are about 20 - 30 mins drive from Amsterdam where they do grass turnout in summer and sand turnout in winter. Pm me and I will be happy to pass on the webistes and give you any help you need with locations within easy drive and also any translations you need.

Transport wise, I used ETA to transport my horse back to the UK, they come to Holland twice a week. He was looked after excellently and the trip as a mixed load only cost me 275 GBP. From the UK they do the complete service including all the import and export docs which may cost more.

PM me if you need any help.

Wow Chav, that would be really great if you could give me any advice. I'll PM you with my email address and then maybe we can talk a bit further about it, thank you.

My horse is stabled in London at the moment so gets 2 hours of grass turn out a day, anything less than that I think he'd struggle with but I'd be willing to drive further for more turn out so that might be an option.

Thanks again!
Victoria
