West Yorkshire/South Yorkshire yards

[WeeBrown]

Could people let me know of any decent yards in the Wakefield/Barnsley/Huddersfield region. I'm not unhappy where I am now just wondered what other places were available. I'd like to know of anywhere that has any (if possible all) of the following:
*Indoor menege (and multiple meneges)
*Lungeing/round pen
*Good safe hacking
*PT livery

The yard would also need, as a priority, 24 hour turn out in summer/autumn and 6am-5pm turn out in winter/spring every day (except obviously in extreme weather).
PM if prefer and especially if there are any particular places to avoid like the plague!

My friend manages the Westfield yard, about 5miles out of Barnsley- Silkstone Common. http://www.westfieldpark.co.uk/ The livery isn't on there as it is run separately but that gives you an idea of facilities. x

Have seen this place - in fact many many years ago I had a few lessons there when it was still a riding school with its own horses. Haven't been there for a good while though. Do you know how many liveries it takes? I'm not desperate to move as I like the liveries/YO on my present yard but my horse is on schooling livery at the minute somewhere else and this has raised a few issues:
a) I've been spoilt by their indoor school and round pen.
b) Realised my horse needs lots more work and is not yet ready for hacking/competing. I therefore need somewhere I can train her. We have a great menege at my present yard but with 20 horses sharing it, many of which are competing and need to practise/have own trainers coming to yard, it is becoming difficult to get time in there. Extra meneges or a place with few liveries would be good.
However, I think I'm wanting the impossible by the few replies here and now I have a trailer I can always hire a school and get her there

Although it doesn't quite meet your needs list (no indoor, hacking OK but 15 mins on road in every direction and its DIY but advertises as PT Livery this is where I am Hopton Horse Centre and there is definately one stable free (large one) at the moment - sadly you'd also have to share a tack room with me and one other

There's also Calder Farm again in Mirfield. I can't remember what it's called, but there is one near Wakefield (next door to the Mining Museum) which definately has an indoor, I think does PT livery. Hacking isn't too bad either from memory. Nat1003 might be able to tell you the name I know the owner is called Sharon but that's all I can remember! Sorry not to be more helpful.

Edited to say have you tried Aldham Mill in Barnsley?

Have you seen Pennine Equine - it between Barnsley and NW Sheffield just off A616? It's got every thing on your wish list, including being straight on to the Trans Pennine trail.
It's at Finkle street, Wortley. The same owner has another livery yard called Bromley Farm where they do competitions.

Oh yes, ditto Ludi Doodi- Aldham Mill is fantastic, Diane Smeaton's yard, its where I bought Oshk from!

I had considered Hopton but I did think they did part livery - think I'd seen the website. It's about 7 - 8 mins further than present yard which in winter I'm finding is enough to do diy. I've been totally spoilt these last few weeks while she has been on schooling livery and I've had no mucking out to do.
Ages ago, before I bought her, I did go to see Aldham Mill but that was about 2 years ago now. It would certainly be nearer to my house - about 10/15 mins away. Might go take a look, think they've done some work since then.
