hmmm I havent but im sure someone on here has !! I wont say anymore
 
Been there to compete and to do Judge Training. Seems a pretty professional outfit.

Have heard that their hire a lot of staff from Eastern Europe (not necessarily a bad thing

I have lessons there and have competed and done a couple of clinis/demos on my own horse there - facilities are fab, but not sure what they are like re livery and schooling
 
Hi FinnMc.
Love your new picture (dressage). Your horse and you look fab. Wondered if you knew it was coming up HUGE in your signature though? Much bigger than the other pics....

I compete there a bit and it's usually well run though they did run out of rosettes recently and the car parking is awful! I also once went there as a potential livery and got the full tour. I didn't take my horse there but am sure their set up is great for certain owners.
 
A friend is taking her horse there for a week on schooling livery but where she has lessons on her horse. Have heard mixed things but will let you know how she gets on.
 
Lovely competition venue, great for lessons, clinics and demos etc but I personally would never keep my horse there on livery although I am sure its suits some.
 
took my horse there for 1 months schooling - very professional and did wonders with my horse's schooling but made me feel like a complete failure and felt I had to ask permission to see her!!
 
I have regular dressage lessons with Vicki. I felt I needed some help as my mare can be very tense in the dressage. It has taken a while but I am seeing a great improvement, although not always shown by my marks when eventing. I have always found Vicki and the staff helpful.
 
Kept my horses there for a v short while(am talking way more than a cpl of years ago)- I pulled them out of the yard after a few weeks as beds were not deep enough, horses lost a lot of condition being fed cheap value brand feeds and were not happy -were not turned out enough- even found one of my horses turned out in its stable rug!!. Hacking wasn't as good as what I was told it would be and all in all was being given poor service and paying a lot of money.

I'm sorry to say that I felt that it was all for show, with fresh bedding etc being added on weekends when potential new customers/ competitors would maybe be looking around!.

Of course, the stable management may have changed and improved now Vicky is there, and I may of just been unlucky.

It was the first and last time I tried having my horses on livery and personally for me, DIY is the best way to go!! The best advice I could give is to look at loads of yard and compare the services and whats on offer! Good Luck!
