Hello I’m putting the feelers out for one reliable professional or experienced person. This is to take on and run my private track yard on the outskirts of Farnham, Surrey. The yard is on-site at my home, so there is usually someone about, though I do work and we’re away at times. Just so you know, we do have a few sheep here as well, but not very many. We’ve got amazing hacking right on the doorstep, 4.5 acres, an open barn for shelter, 4 stables, and an outdoor arena.
The yard isn't up and running yet, but I am looking into getting something started by November. Since it is a blank canvas, I’d be completely open to your ideas and suggestions on the track layout.
My own mare is going to stay there. She has EMS and is strictly barefoot, has had a suspensory ligament operation and is not always sound but also needs exercising. Because of her, the whole yard has to be set up and run as a proper restricted-grass track system for laminitis and weight management.
Ideally want one single person who has their own small herd or wants to run a small track livery. Max 5 horses/ponies on the yard total including mine. I want to keep the yard really quiet with zero drama, so it is no children and probably not dogs but open to discuss this. If you do take on a couple of liveries to fill the other slots, it has to be kept very small and strictly managed. No busy commercial setups.
You’ll need to do the daily routine, source the hay, do the poo picking, hang the haynets, basically run the yard. exercise and look after my mare as part of the herd. Because you’ll be doing her daily care, I’m offering a heavily discounted rent on the yard to reflect that.
Need someone 100% reliable who completely understands metabolic and barefoot care. Preferably over 25 years old, references essential.
Please let me know if you're interested (I will contact you) and want to chat about costs and your experience. Serious enquiries only, no time wasters please. A few but not all pics of yard. Thank you
