Leys Farm Livery Stables
“I wouldn’t be without it.”
The yard
Leys Farm Livery is a DIY yard with 16 stables in the Cotswolds, run as part of a family farm. It has been going for seven years, starting with part and full livery and switching to DIY two years ago.
The owner always wanted a yard they could run while staying part of the family farm. It’s a good way to bring up children and keep their own horses, and their eldest daughter now has her own pony.
What matters most
Horse welfare: horses that are safe, happy and turned out as much as possible. And a supportive, drama-free, stress-free yard.
Why they signed up
The yard started on LIVERYLive in December 2022, mainly for communication. The owner’s biggest worry was missing messages. Now every message goes to whoever is working, which gives real peace of mind.
The feature they use most
The To Do list linked to billing, which makes invoicing simple.
The biggest benefit
A much better work-life balance. Existing liveries saw the improvement in communication straight away. Some older liveries were nervous at first but soon found it easy, and every new livery is set up on the app from day one.
“It’s worth £40 a month for a better work-life balance and better communication across the yard, including managing staff. I wouldn’t be without it.”
