ANywhere to keep my pony at grass in north devon/torridge?

I have a 12hh 3yr old pony and nowhere permanent to keep him, looking for grass keep?
Answers:
Check out this website i found a few livery yards in your area.
www.worldofhorses.co.uk
Most livery yards will have plenty of fields, and you just request grass livery which is much cheaper x
I dont know anywhere in your area but I would recommend you ask your local riding school/tack shop if they know of anyone renting out grazing - a lot of people place adverts in these places and you might find somewhere suitable through that.
Alternatively - do you know any farmers who have lots of spare land? A lot of these people would have no problem in allowing you to keep yourpony there.

You may find grazing by advertising in your local paper or in a copy of Horse and Hounds ect . O therwise go to your nearest auction and ask the buyers there if they know of land for pasture . A few farmers are a little wary of letting land out now to riders since the foot and mouth outbreak cost them so dearly , so grazing is getting harder and harder to find , check also with your local riding schools they may have knowledge that could help you . ..

try asking around close to where you live. just call up a farmer and ask him. other than that you can up a wanted add in the paper and ask for some land close to you
