As some of you may know nicola has moved on from running the livery yard. Sam and Angela will be running it going forward. Nicolas number is now the yard number so any queries please feel free to call or message. We will be updating people of any changes we will be making and when we are free from strangles shortly. Watch this space.

I have just been informed a horse on the yard has tested positive for strangles. There is to be no movement of horses on or off the yard and bio security measures are in place. Hopefully the outbreak has been contained. All horses will be tested before the yard will re open.
