Equestrian livery yard owners: Help to raise awareness of the truth behind your increasing costs

Whether you’re running a Riding School, Retirement, DIY, Full or Competition Livery yard, the constant increases in energy prices, water bills and materials for yard maintenance mean it’s harder than ever to keep in the green.

We ran a survey last year to help us understand more about the pressures you face, and we're now looking to check-in again to see if things have improved, stayed the same, or got worse. Please complete our short survey below. Our aim is to use these findings to help raise awareness of the increased financial burdens you face when trying to run an equestrian business.
