Our Story
At LK Sport Horse we provide the best of care for you and your horse. With over 40 years of experience in the equestrian industry working with some of the biggest names in show jumping, eventing and dressage, we know what is needed to run a livery yard with a great environment in which to train. Our Experience At LK Sport Horse we have broken, produced and worked alongside some of the top names in all three equestrian disciplines for over 3 decades. Horses are our passion and we pride ourselves with happy, healthy consistent competition horses.We only take on clients and their horses that we know will be happy at our yard, as a good fit is a huge contributing factor to the success of your stay. So, if we can not meet all your requirements we will be upfront, as we are not in the business of wasting anyone's time and money, as moving yards is expensive and stressful for all involved. New Horses All new arrivals are in isolation for 2 weeks, this is a protection for all the horses on the yard. They can still be exercised and turned out but only on their own during this period. All horses are on an individual training/feeding program depending on their body type, learning capacity and their age. We do 4 monthly worm counts and we ask that all horses have regular yearly check ups with the dentist and physio. Our back up team of professionals, are always at the other end of the phone if we need them. They are all at the top of their game and have worked along side us for over 20 years. Our owners and liveries are a bunch of lovely people who have stayed with us for years because of the service and attention we give them and their horse/horses. Some that have moved have returned to us for one reason or another. Our horses, students and clients over the years are our testimony. We have a warm cozy tack room with on tap free refreshments to help with those cold winter days. Spare jackets and gloves and warm clean dry socks because we know the little things make the difference. Our Clients Our clients are based all over the world and repeat business and referrals are our main business Especially sourcing horses that are specific to your needs.We have a privacy policy for those in the film industry as well as for those who want to keep their identity undisclosed. Our ethos The way a horse is educated and the environment in which they live is pivotal to a horses personality. When we start our youngsters we want them to learn as much about their environment as possible. So we make sure that the youngster is OK and confident with everything we put them too. Different bits, plastic and metal, rattling metal stirrups, lose fitting floppy nose bands and the jingle and flapping of martingales and stirrups. Wearing floppy saddle cloths or no saddle cloths and wearing different boots including floppy over reach boots. Rugs that make a noise and hoods that go over their face. We do this because we have no idea what their new owners will decide to use and wear on them, so we try and cover as much as we can, so that the youngster learns to be OK and confident with everything that comes their way.We also do a bit of join up with them and try and make their education fun, this really makes a difference to their attitude on learning and sets them on the right tract for the rest of their life. Please Note: We do not encourage or take on horses younger than 3 and a half as we believe the horse is not physically or mentally ready - We believe age classes are destroying our talented horses and breaking and producing young horses will lead to physical and mental problems down the line. Our History A list of a few top horses we have broken over the years include: Velinni-Micheal Whitakers Top international grey stallion Mr Merridock- Olymipic Team Gold 2008 Germany Eventing Team. Bambee Z- Babminton young horse champion Quick De Darem - Our own Grand Prix horse Ranked 14th in 2002. To name just a few. Films we have worked on. Harry Potter, Wolf Man, Alexandra, Robin Hood, Sherlock Holmes, Clash Of The Titans, Louis has broke, trained and produced flat racers, broken horses to film sets and trained them for stunts. He evented for 4 seasons each year finishing in the top 20 %. We also offer a none bias service in finding you the right horse, with an assessment lesson and our honest opinion on what you need, which is not necessarily what you want. A leasing package for those that do not want to commit to ownership or just the one off lunge/lesson to tweak your balance or to help your confidence or fitness. Athletic happy horses love their jobs as we love ours.Whatever your equestrian need i'm sure we can help. If you have any questions about any of our services or ethos of training horses you are welcome to call or even better, you can pop down and watch us train and meet the horses, all of which we have started and produced ourselves.
