Isca Livery Stables Ltd.

Isca Livery has been established for over 20 years and is run by Mari-Sian Mayho, her family and staff. Set in 45 acres of rolling Monmouthshire countryside, it has grown over the years from one block of DIY stables to 2 DIY/ assisted blocks and one block of Monarch stables for part/ full liveries and now also has a large outdoor arena (approx 60m x 40m); indoor school (approx 18m x 36m); Monarch 5 horse horsewalker; Monarch stocks and solarium; alarmed secure tack/ feed rooms with individual lockable storage; 24hr CCTV surveillance throughout the yard; owners living on site; isolation stable; rug drying area and coffee room. Isca Livery is only a few miles from Newport, Caerleon, Cwmbran and Pontypool yet is in the countryside with lovely riding nearby. It is a child friendly yard (children under 12 must be supervised and over that age must be deemed competent by Mari-Sian to be left unsupervised) but also has plenty of adult customers of all ages and abilities.

Isca Livery has been BHS approved for many years and since 2015 it has achieved their top rating of Highly Commended. Isca Livery Stables is also one of only 4 yards in South Wales to offer the free Equine Outreach Horse Care courses, in conjunction with Coleg Gwent, leading to NPTC City & Guilds qualifications. These 4 yards have been chosen because of the high standard of tuition offered.

Mari-Sian has ridden since she was 3 years old and is a BHS Accredited Professional Coach, currently with the BHSAI qualification. This means that she is up to date with her First Aid at Work Certificate, DBS checks, BEF child safeguarding and CPD training including having attended training days with the likes of William Fox- Pitt, Tim Stockdale, Sophie Wells and Christopher Bartle. She has taught various Riding Clubs, Pony Clubs and many individuals and has over 25 years teaching experience. She has successfully competed BSJA, represented Torfaen Riding Club in Area Dressage, Showjumping and Eventing and qualified for some of the BRC National Championships. She has also competed in County Level showing classes and been the WPCS Performance Champion and Showjumping Champion as well as producing 2 of her own horses for police use.

For many years Mari-Sian and her staff have broken in and schooled horses in a very quiet, non- pressurising way, waiting for the horse to let them know when they are ready to progress to the next stage rather than working to a set time scale. This has meant there have been many satisfied customers and happy horses!
