Foxall Animal Services currently sublets stables on Woodside Farm, Rainford, but the farmer who rents the land from the Knowsley Estate had said they have to leave.

The company was founded eight years ago to provide full livery and horse care services, with plans to expand operations and strengthen Merseyside's 'equestrian reputation' in the North West.

Those plans have now been adjusted as they try to find a way of staying at Woodside farm.

Foxall's founder, Alicia Ball, 24, said they have until the end of January to secure its future, and she has submitted a proposal to lease the land and expand its operations.
