Posting in here mainly for traffic - regional boards don't seem to garner many replies.

I'm soon to be moving to Watford and am interested in finding livery in the local area. I'm looking mainly for somewhere that I am able to go down once a day, as I will not have time to go down in the morning to turn out etc.

Names of places would be awesome, but rough prices even more awesome.

Thanks guys :)
 
Patchetts is a littttllee (a lot) out of my price range from what I've heard, haha. I'm not looking for amazing facilities, just decent ones at reasonable prices :)

Does anyone know anything about Chorleywood Livery and it's prices? Am going to email the owner but may aswell ask here too
 
Stanmore Riding School, £35 per week DIY, straw is £3.50, hay is £6, small bales. Outdoor school, very friendly, tearoom. I live in Watford, work in Bushey, it's my second nearest yard (pm me for more details if you like). They do services eg turn out or you can probably get someone to turn out for you in return for a catch in etc.

I know most of the nearby yards. Watford itself doesn't have yards, but literally just outside is High Herts on the way to Hemel, Smug Oak is in Bricket Wood, as is Little Munden (full livery only)

I really should do a massive Word doc and save it. If Criso sees this, she'll add stuff she knows lots, too. Message either of us.
 
Thankyou guys! :)

I'll look into all the ones mentioned.
Trying to see if it's viable to buy horsey after I move there, as prices seem quite different to here (Derbyshire) so needing to put in extra research :')
 
To add to this, if I don't find it's possible for me to buy whilst i'm in the area (it's much more expensive as obviously a lot closer to London than Derbyshire, aha), then what do you guys think of Bucks Meadow Riding School? I know it's quite local but don't know anything about it. Would consider having lessons regularly just to keep riding if I couldn't find a loan or something :)
 
Don't suppose anyone wants to rent the council land in Harefield and let me graze mine there haha (I know nothing about land management so me managing it would be disaster waiting to happen xD )
