stanneylands

livery - used to be a racing yard, is rented from the previous trainer - excellent! fantastic boxes, lovely paddocks, the "lunging ring" is more than big enough to ride in, a horse walker!!!. price is right (£23 per week DIY, £12 per day if I want her done), nice people, and under 1 1/2 miles from the flat, ditto from the office - i could walk it if i had to.

So once I know definitively what i'm doing for the next few months, that's sorted.

and an agent rang as i was leaving the office - a firm whose office is within 2 miles of this house, might be interested and so is being sent my CV. YAY.

I bought a horse from Francis Lee once. Ex-footballer, turned horse trainer, owns/ed (?) Stanneylands. Lovely place! No hacking, hence so cheap, but you don't want hacking do you, so OK. Are you allowed to use the gallops?

The Hotel has a great chef if you are wining and dining clients!

Sounds nice. With the gallop track there's not a lot of need for hacking for Molly, anyhow. She's not keen about it and the track should do just fine for a nice ride out of the work area.

Within walking distance is always good and the price works. Now if the job works out, you are all set!

yes, francis lee's place, caroline. gallop is ok for anything except galloping, but since i don't do that either....

All sounds good so far :)

I would say that going round the gallop track would be a form of hacking anyway. It's a step in the right direction.
