has anyone on here set a livery yard from scratch. If so please could you give me any advice.
I have been running a yard as a manager for a long time but that is a whole different world to starting from scratch.
The facility I have in mind has a huge arena, lunge arena, brand new stables, rubber matting, off road hacking (over 200 acres) individual turn out, club house, showers, loos, wash box, storage, horse walker ect. Indoor school planned and gallops.
It has great financial backing. On site accom.
It will be run as mainly a full livery yard.
How would you promote the yard? I have my ideas but any more would be great.
How much would you pay (in the South UK) for full livery for the above?
What would make you go and stay at a yard like the above?
I know that you have to consider the following:
income
profit
outgoings- wages, maintence, feed, hay, bedding, electricity, rates, muck heap removal( there is a estate manager that looks after the land),improvals.
staff wages
insurance
Health and Safety
staff contracts
advertising
BHS approval
Security
Fire extingushers ect
Staff training
Anything I have missed.
What would be the best way to get paid for livery- cash, cheque, DD??
There would be approx 20 boxes.
As much advice as pos please!
