What it would cost you
About the yard
Pinkmead Farm sits in the village of Botley on the upper Hamble, close to the M27 and the mainline station. The yard has been established for more than 25 years, running riding lessons from beginners to advanced riders alongside its liveries.
Livery runs from DIY to part livery, with a basic and an assisted DIY option in between. The main indoor school, which has an Eco Track surface and mirrors, is mostly used for lessons and schooling but is open to liveries when it is free. There is an outdoor arena, a paddock with showjumps in season, and hacking around the farm's own land. A strict worming routine is kept, with a yearly worm count.
Monthly prices run from £194.00 a month for DIY to £538.06 a month for part livery, Monday to Friday. Bedding, forage, supplements, boots and bandaging are extra. Lorry parking is chargeable, and the yard does not allow dogs on the premises.

The yard doesn't say. Ask about winter turnout before you visit: it's the thing most owners want to know.
