With Oldencraig on the market and its future uncertain, can anyone advise me of any other livery yards in Surrey that have an indoor with a good surface?

All and any suggestions appreciated!

Thanks
 
It is not Surrey, but its not far from OEC. Gemsbrook Dressage is in Slinfold which is W Sussex. The owner is Paula Sherwood who trained with Vicky Thompson and Rocky. She has an indoor and outdoor school, it is a small yard, but the surfaces are actually much better than OEC.
 
I think H & H said the owner wanted to do more in building and property.

Thats three for sale now including Catheston I wonder who'll be next.
 
interesting with Oldencraig that they said they had invested £7.5milion in it - and it is for sale for offers over £6million. Doesnt sound as if it will have been profitable exercise then...but I'm not sure how anyone can ever really get money back from investing in big yards like that. I think you have to do it because you love it, and not for financial gain (although I am sure there are exceptions)

Will be interesting to see who buys it though
 
Can someone point me to a link as I cannot find it, hope the comps carry on with the new owner as they have loads, nearly every weekend
 
Can't see it on the Hamptons website. Anyone found the advert at all? i heard at hickstead at the weekend it would be 8m not 6m, which would make more sense with what they have spent on it. But is suppose it just shows that cost does not equal value if it is 6m.
 
The H&H article says that they've invested £7.5million into it, expect offers in excess of £6mill to buy it. Ian Winfield is quoted as saying that it is one of the best centres in the Uk, if not in Europe. He wants nothing to change for the clients and that his wife will be able to stay on at the yard.

I can't imagine anyone buying OEC and having it as a private yard - it's too big - they're bound to want liveries!
 
It could just be going on the market to establish if there is interest and as a valuation exercise. That happened with a show centre over here. It was advertised to establish valuation for the purposes of an asset management type thing. Can happen quite often with large properties apparently
 
ooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhit it is so pretty although I went for a lesson and got shouted at when I took my coat of and just plonked it on the edge ....too strict for me
