looking for a livery yard in thornton (nr Blackpool). i had my pony on a yard where the stable was too small and he couldn't turn around, i moved him to another yard where it is so noisy he is not settling, there are kids running riot and screaming, they've got radios on full blast and its like this from early morning untill 9pm, its also on a busy road and my pony is not 100% on roads and i'm having difficulty getting out of the yard. he has had a personality change since moving on this yard so i need to move him or i will end up selling him which i dont want to do. does anyone know anywhere in the thornton area
 
Hi chip-sorry to hear your pony isnt settling. It is a very busy yard isnt it...
what about thornton ES-its maybe worth a go, it would be such a shame to sell him after you have made great ways forward with his schooling??
Or possibly Indomba (ruth scott) you will get great help there.

By the way- hope you had a lovely xmas!! was it hectic with having a pony this year?

thanks blueberry, i do wish i hadn't listened to everyone and gone to thornton ec, i have tried to ring them this morning but Sarah not there, kids are now terrified of riding chip and i'm not enjoying going out on hacks either due to traffic and eldest daughter nearly being hit by a car. i would have part of the same problems on Ruth's yard as she is also on a busy road and he is just not good enough in traffic and whilst i have the confidence and ability to do most things i was involved in a rta with a car and horse many years ago which really knocked my confidence in traffic so me and youngsters in traffic dont go.
 
Hi, thats fair enough. I would try sarah again, if you expalin your predicament im sure she will understand.
No yard is perfect but at least you are in a quiet area for hacking.
Do you have her home number? i can pm it to you if you don't.
 
Hi
Sorry to hear about your pony not settling, have your tried looking in Stanna for maybe a smaller private yard??
I have a nice and quiet yard but we are probably slightly too far away plus we are full at the moment.
Good luck in your search,
