Wanted - livery yard with good facilities

Happdog

Hi,

Sorry for bringing for posting a topic that has been no doubt been done to death, however I need to move yard in the next couple of weeks and am unsure of what is out there.

I am living in Dublin and am willing to travel within a 30 km radius or so. I've been in a great yard in Maynooth for a couple of years which is now closing. I'm willing to go Northside, Southside or Kildare/Meath.

I'm looking for full livery, preferably in a quiet private yard, not a riding school. Somewhere with a decent arena to work in, cross country jumps/gallops and which is open in the evening during the week. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I do have a pretty good knowledge of the main riding schools and big yards so I reckon I'm looking for somewhere which maybe doesn't advertise : - )

I'd be delighted to hear of any suggestions anyone might have. Thank you.

Boswell Equestrian - competition centre, 4 arenas, horsewalker, Monarch stables, daily individual turnout on grass. Small number of liveries with great care. I'm south Dublin and it takes me about 20-25 mins to get there.

Lovely yard in Prosperous, Kildare - Little Oak Equestrian, only 20 mins from Dublin but is a riding school.

20 mins further up the road outside Derrinturn, Kildare there is a great yard called Kingsdale - gallops, derby field, massive sand arena, not a riding school but have a HSI coach onsite.
