LiveryList, a comprehensive online directory for equestrian livery yards across the UK, has launched a series of guides aimed at supporting livery yard owners and elevating industry standards.
The 10 “Back to Basics” guides cover a range of subjects including pricing, contracts and biosecurity, and are designed to help yard owners understand and implement industry best practices.
It is hoped that by addressing the fundamental aspects of yard ownership and recognising the complexities involved in managing a successful livery yard, the guides will help yard owners and managers raise their standards and add value to the services that they offer.
LiveryList has worked with equestrian charities, welfare organisations, and governing bodies, to ensure the guides contain reliable, up-to-date, and industry-backed advice and information.
‘Operating in a viable manner’
“With continually increasing costs for running yards and owning horses, and a highlight on equine welfare standards, now it is more important than ever to ensure that yard owners are operating in a viable manner,” said LiveryList founder Cheryl Johns.
“By collaborating with leading industry bodies, charities and organisations, and providing these resources at no cost, we are ensuring that yard owners have access to the best possible guidance and support.”
