LiveryList FAQ

You can find a yard by starting a search from the homepage, or any of the search areas on the site. You can search by location and select a preferred radius, or you can search by keyword or yard name if you are looking for something specific.

Each listing has up to date contact details for the yard, as well as direct links to their website and social media pages for a majority of listings. If you send an enquiry through the listing using the contact form, this also goes directly to the yard owners email so that they can contact you directly in response to your enquiry.

Unlike other yard directories that simply copy yard details from other sites, our listings are added and maintained by the yard owners themselves. This means that they have entered all of the information in person. If a listing expires and is not renewed by the yard owner it is removed from the site. Our yard owners are paid advertisers, and as such have an invested interest in keeping their listings up to date and receiving enquiries from our users.

The content of listings will depend on two things- the advertising package selected by the yard owner or manager, and the level of detail they have chosen to share in the advert. This means the content of listings can vary. All listings are required to have a minimum level of information, but you will find some have more detail or images than others. However, on all listings, you are able to contact the yard owner directly to request more information.

All Standard and Featured listed yards have the ability for reviews to be submitted, this can be done from the listing page. If you scroll right to the bottom of the listing, you can submit your review score and wording in the 'Add a Review' section. All listings are manually approved prior to publication. This function is not available on Basic listings. If you want to remove a review that you have submitted, then you need to contact us at admin@liverylist.co.uk to make a removal request.

You can add your yard to the site in just a few minutes. Simply click on the 'Add My Yard' link, select an advertising package and follow the sign-up process. At the end of sign up, if you are satisfied with your listing preview, payment is made securely via PayPal, and your listing is live within a couple of hours. Standard and Featured Listings are then automatically shared to our social media pages too.

No. We want our Yard Owners to be invested in their listing. Free listings are often long forgotten about and left with out of date information which is the opposite of what we want to achieve for our yard owners and our users. We do not crib listings off of other sites for this exact reason as you never know what is up to date. We do not want our users trying to contact yards that no longer exist, have changed hands, or where the contact information is incorrect. For those on a limited budget, we offer a Basic listing for just £15 a year, and even a comprehensive Featured Listing works out to just £1.50 per week!!

All listings are added on an automatic renewal, cancel anytime basis. When you add your yard, a subscription will be set up on PayPal to automatically renew the listing upon expiry. The advantage of this is that your listing will only ever cost you the same as the standard rate at the time you joined, and would not be subject to any price increases that new advertisers or manual renewals would be. To cancel your listing is easy. You simply need to cancel the PayPal subscription to LiveryList (on your PayPal account). You can do this at any time. This will prevent the renewal payment being processed, and the listing will be removed from the site within a few days of expiry, but remains on your account for 12 months should you wish to renew at any time. Further information on cancellations is in our Terms and Conditions.

LiveryList covers the whole of the UK and virtually every type of short and long-term livery option, as well as listings for riding schools, competition centres, training venues, and facility hire. We have many users who search the site exclusive of livery packages to find local facility hire, instruction or other services. Whilst we endeavour to cover all types of livery package, facility and service on our options, we understand that the industry evolves and we're happy to add other options for livery packages, facilities or services upon request.

Yes, we have a specific listing available for yards to rent on a sole use basis, and for either personal or commercial use. This allows you to have the advantages and promotion of a featured listing, but to advertise specifically as a yard rental. This allows the promotional benefit, but a shorter term. These listings are also shared on numerous social media groups and platforms for maximum reach to potential tenants. Please see Add Your Yard for details of all packages.

The best way to have an effective listing is to make sure that you include as much information as possible.
