Hi Rosemary,
    she hasnt had much responce to her posters and leaflets and shes not an IT person so wont do forums or face book. Perhaps spring will be a better time. More people move yards in spring I think.

Hi,

Me and my partner are currently looking for livery for our three horses, in Cupar area if possible. I'd be grateful if you could PM me details.

Thank you!

Hi Rosemary,
 
 no, so far no joy. The stables are made by Le Chavalier and are lovely and she can offer livery or DIY options. She offers sectioned pasture for those who need to keep their horses weight down and has lots of off road hacking but it might be the lack of an indoor school that is putting people off.
I know she has plans to build a schooling arena but needs the customers first in order to fund it.
Perhaps the demand for yards is just not quite as popular in her new home  as it is down here in Yorkshire.
Hi  Purplefinks,
  I will pm you her number.

I got a catalogue in TSF for a company called McVeigh Parker - they do a 40m x 20m riding arena for £1924.24 - that doesn't include hardcore and topping though. It includes gates, fencing, retaining boards, two membranes and drainage pipe. Although, obviously, it's not under cover.

Where in Fife is it, even roughly?  There are limits to how far across Fife you can drive on a regular basis to see ponies, particularly in winter in bad weather, but if you say it's towards Dunfermline, Tayport or Newburgh way it might be clearer who can consider it  ??? I can't see someone in Dalgety Bay travelling to Wormit or someone from St Andrews side of Cupar going to Abernethy..

And tho she may not be a regular IT person wanting to use social networking, she  might find a friend will do her a one page static site with webs.com or weebly with her phone number, half a dozen photos, a price list and a description of services and facilities..  and a  location  ;)

Hi Rosemary,
                   thanks for the details of the arenas I will pass it on.
Ellie, they are all brilliant suggestions, thank you. She is in Crail but as you clearly know the area better than I do so you would know if the location is part of the problem.

Hi Rosemary,
 
  I passed on the info about the schooling arena to my sis. A couple of potential customers came to look at the weekend who seemed really nice so if they decide to move in she will have the funds to set up a school. I know she would love to build one as she would love to be able to school her horse too.
We are going up to visit her in a couple of weeks so I hope the snow stays away.

Hi
I am looking for a livery for my pony. How can I contact your sister? Do you know if she still has space available?

Hi Rosemary,
 just to let you know that my sisers new customers moved in a couple of weeks ago and she has now had her schooling arena built! She is also hoping to install a porta cabin too with a tea room etc so her customers will have somewhere to sit and shelter from the cold.

Thanks Rosemary,
 
  I think one of her customers got a ryeland tup from you, so I recon if they keep coloured ryelands they must be ok!
