Anyone have any experience of this place. I need to send my gelding to rest for a year and it looks and sounds lovely but its some distance from me so just wondered if anyone has a horse there. PM me if preferred.
 
I have 2 friends who each have a horse there, and they are really happy with it. Horses seem to be very well and content.

Hope you find somewhere for your gelding :o)
 
Thank you - thats what I wanted to hear. I am planning to drive him down asap & I won't have viewed it beforehand so was hoping someone could give me a good review.
 
How much does retirement livery cost? I have a friend desperately seeking something reasonable for her lad who is arthritic and asthmatic. We are in Devon and I'd never heard of this place!
 
I just found it by googling retirement livery. Lady sounds really nice. I wanted somewhere he can live out 24/7. Obviously cost is dependent on horse type, size & if they need feeding or not. She quoted me £32pw with hay when needed and regular foot trimming. A lot cheaper than in Surrey!
 
Hi Alex
I realise your post was a while ago now, but did you ever place your horse at Monshall in Devon ?

We're looking for a retirement home for our pony and were wondering whether Monshall lives up to its website description.

Many thanks for any advice you can give
Kevin
 
I visited Monshall for my gelding. I would have had no hesitation in sending him there but it was a very long way from my home. Luckily I found a great retirement home for him within an hour's drive of my house, but Monshall was great. Natalie who runs it is a very genuine person, horses were happy, healthy and allowed to be horses.
 
Monshall is fabulous!

Nat is one of the worlds best horsewoman and then some!

I have seen her children grow up from babies to teenagers!!!!

The horses are so well cared for they never want to leave!

There is a holiday home there so you can stay there

The farm is organic as well if I remember rightly
 
Hi, I did send him there yes. Been there 2.5yrs now & he loves it! I've only been able to visit 3 times but trust Nat completely to look after hiim. She puts loads of photos on facebook or emails so you can see how they are.

Foraday you are so right, I really need to bring my boy back and see if his tendon will hold up to some work but I feel very guilty. He is so happy with a big hairy coat, fat tummy and lots of friends don't think he'll ever want to come home.
