Wyndam Livery in Rhiwbina?

I've kept mine at two different yards in Lisvane.There's one on the end of Graig Road with an indoor and outdoor school but they have a long waiting list. It's called Graig Lodge.

There's quite a few if you along Van Road - near the Maen Llwyd pub. My friend's also visited Greenyard livery and liked it.

Not sure if you've ever had a horse in the area but personally I'd prefer to keep them in Rudry as you've got the hacking & Sunnybank for shows etc.

Let us know where you end up!

Hi

Cant find any contact details for Greenyard on google? :p Cant find any info about any others in Rudry except Sunnybanks.
 
Hi I've been at Wyndham Livery for several years and I really like it there, it suits me. You need to consider what you want from a yard and which one can meet most of your requirements. Sadly no yard is perfect. Having looked at some previous posts I would just like to add that there have been some people who have left the yard over the past few years that I would run a mile from if I saw them again. Hope you find what you are looking for and enjoy your new horse.
 
I totally agree with bling it on - no yard is perfect but Wyndam is friendly and YO really tries hard to please as many people as possible and looks after each horse as if it was hers!! I have been there a long time and there have been some people who have left who you wouldn't want to be on a yard with! Wyndham is really easy to get to even in winter, ice etc as no lanes/steep hills etc,easy hacking and school with jumps etc. Really friendly people with help/advice, turnout etc if you need/want it. Def worth a look, really nice yard.:o Best of luck with your new horse - very exciting time Pm me if you want to know anything else

I wouildn't go back to Wyndam if you paid me and I know several others who feel the same. Probably best if I don't say any more.

I think I recognise that belly ! Where are you now ? so I take it he is jumping well ?
 
Viewed them myself acouple of years back.. really nice yard, good facilities but I got the impression there wasn't much turnout for example horses had to come in during the day in summer etc and I didn't like that (although this may have changed now of course). It was on the expensive side without the extras I'd need due to the endless shifts I work.

Hi
Yes i found the extras a little exspensive when you total them up (i maybe wrong as i am so new to this so shoot me if i am wrong :p) Most other places seem to charge £1 to turn out etc....is this a fair enough price do you think?

His or mine? ;)
We're up the other end of Cardiff on a lovely yard where he has a new boyfriend and several girlfriends :D
That pic is from a hunter trial last year where he un-ceremoniously dumped me on the smallest jump, having already jumped it about 20 times before! Knob, lol. We're going to the same HT on Sunday so we shall see if he's jumping well :D Otherwise, he's been hunting all winter with the Pentyrch and the Gelligaer, which he loves, and doing quite well at local level showing, plus we've qualified for Stoneleigh for the Trailblazers dressage - fingers crossed!
 
People have said to me over the last few weeks of looking "thats a really b***** yard, be careful" with a number of different ones, can livery yards really get that b*****? I suppose its the same with everything these days :p Seeing that we are new to this...what is it that starts the b******** off? Is it because there are too many females in one place (coz i know us girls can be hard work when we want to be :D) I hope its not like being at school.........:rolleyes:

It's because horse people are crazy :p
 
Enjoy looking around. I think all yards are basically the same. majority of horse owners are great, if crazy. Leave your flag at home and go with the one you feel most comfortable with. Remember sites like these often have people with strong opinions for or against anything, and there are always two sides to a story.

I couldn't agree more. Hence why I left my last yard ;)
