Recommended Livery Yards, Devon

[LauraWinter]

As above, please give me actual recommendations from personal experience; I have gathered an idea of what yards are around yards but I am interested to know your experiences of any that I should particularly consider or particularly avoid! (PM if you prefer) We are going to be moving house into rented and may have to move out of Exeter itself as we have dogs to accommodate so looking to go somewhere near to a fab yard for the horses!

Requirements-

Within approx half an hour of Exeter, in any direction

Good turnout- 24/7 for summer at least

School

Assisted DIY available

Experienced and capable YM/YO/Instructor on site for help with riding confidence/schooling if necessary

Decent Hacking

Friendly people/ym/yo

Dogs allowed on yard pref but not absolutely essential

Secure tack room


That's all I can think of for now but will add more if I think of anything. Thanks in advance!

We are hoping to find something near Okehampton and will be straight in touch if we do! Please PM me if you know of anything nearby which will allow 2 dogs

Laura - do you mean accomodation for rent?

 

[LauraWinter]

Yep! Prob from beginning of April if our house sale goes to plan.

 

[Bosworth]

okay - will have a nosey and get back to you if I see anything. 2 dogs won't be aproblem round here as everyone seems to have dogs.
