Essex (but don't judge!)
Just wondered whether any of you lovely NR peeps might now of any livery yards in between Benfleet and Southend...?

I know of Brook's but wondered if anyone knew of any others in the area. We live nearer Southend on Sea and need to cut down travel time to our current Yard (depending on traffic can take 45 mins to get there!)

thanks in advance :)
 
Hi There

In Essex Rider this month they were advertising for the Lawns in Southend apprently they have built new stables there.

Sounds like an idea place to me :D
 
Thank you Essex Lady, should buy the Essex rider really shouldn't I??!!

Don't really want to head out towards Rochford way simply because work is Benfleet direction, if that makes sense....

The OH saw some horses out in the Leigh on Sea area and wondered where they were stabled. Do you know of any yards in Leigh??

:)
 
Im in Benfleet, looked at Brooks stables myself, was very nice.

Im not really up all the local stables, I think Burches were advertising in New Rider too, is that area any good for you?

There is always Jotmans but Iv heard good and bad about them .

I think CWB is based in Leigh On Sea maybe try to pm her.
 
Yes, was thinking about Brooks but it's quite expensive I hear! Wanted to look into all the options....Were you there recently? Do you remember how much their stable rent is?

Burches wouldn't be too bad actually, forgot about that one, will have a look into it.

I've heard bad things about Jotman's too! Will steer clear...

thanks so much xx
 
I think Brooks was £25.00 a week and there is a girl there that does some servicing if needed.

Be nice if you went to Burches, or around my area we could be able to meet up and ride out together I dont have anyone to ride out with atm.

I am at a small yard down the road from Burches only 5 stables mostly used for YO horses and 1 other lady whose horse is lame.
 
Will have a look into all the options and let you know what we go for!

It's a shame as our current YO is great, we were hoping to move closer but the current housing market hasn't allowed that unfortunately.

Thanks again, will keep you posted :)
 
Hi

Im a Benfleet girl.

Please let me in on the bad news you have heard about Jotmans????

Brooks are nice but they keep there horses in for about 3-4 months over the winter. Burches are advertising. There is Solby Wood, Hadleigh, Henry Smiths yard in Hadleigh. There is the yard by strawberry fields in Daws Heath, Hadleigh.
 
There are also a few yards dow past Thundersley Common, don't know how many, or the names, best take a drive down there......
 
Thed lawns is becoming more profit making , know a woman there who says the changes are not making it better.

CWB is a man! most of the leigh horse are private yards, friend lives in leigh owns a horse and has moved to my yard, daws heath has plenty of stables in the area.
