So Ive heard of a yard local to me in the north east Manchester area thats for rent. Theres 6 stables, an arena and 7 acres. Now, the stables are tired and weve heard in the past the roof used to leak, the arena surface is beyond exhausted and isnt floodlit but the fields are decent. I have a friend with three horses whos contemplating renting it all.
However, the one thing were struggling to think of a solution to is theres no mains water to either the stable block nor the fields. Massive water butts are tremendous in winter when its always raining but any idea for summer? She shows so baths frequently and we just cant think of a way round it unless the property owner would allow use of his mains/well but shed rather avoid having to knock on and ask all the time...
All that aside, she might just buy water canisters and ship them from every trip up from home in the trailer but what sort of money would you be wanting to pay for the yard as a whole? We sort of hazarded a guess about £250 - £300 a month as property isnt horsey so wed be being cheeky at that really as well we think?
