I love pottering round on the checking the fields. I get to enjoy the horses socialising and relaxing. Being lucky wnought o have extensive hilly winter grazing, certainly makes owning a horse in the winter bearable.

Following an equine physio session for with , Millie went home and googled in-hand pole exercises she can do with Poppy to improve suppleness and ensure a long and happy ridden life for Poppy (who is a 'mare of a certain age'). and Millie cleared the arena, then set out two poles exercises; a straight line of alternate raised poles, and a complex of poles to encourage working, weaving and walking accurately over and around them. Well done Millie for taking the initiative to do this to benefit your pony. 🤩

She's so beautiful.

Merry Christmas from Swarthdale stables to all our friends. Santa has landed and been very generous. We had a fab Christmas morning hack; a great way to start the day. We hope you have an enjoyable and fun filled day.

The welshie boys did not want to come in this evening. They were quite happy at the far far side of the field chilling. This makes me so happy.

Welshies working well this evening. Whether ridden or lunged, there's a space for everyone.

Opportunity not to be missed.

Winter grazing you say.... due to one of our lovely livery ponies going out on loan, we have one stable coming available. Please feel free to message me to chat through our wonderful facilities that you and your horse/ pony can enjoy.

6.20pm and still t-shirt weather. Fabulous.

New field day requires much zigging and zagging to explore.

Glorious evening.

It may be lashing down, but jobs still need jobbing.

Maybe September needs to have a rethink about how it wishes to show up!!!!

A small livery yard with great facilities where horses can be horses.

A SMALL LIVERY YARD WITH GREAT FACILITIES WHERE HORSES CAN BE HORSES.

When Ryan and I bought Swarthdale Cottage in 2014, there was a lot of work to be done. The livery yard was in a state of disrepair and the grazing land wasn’t much better. We have worked tirelessly over the last few years to make our yard a haven for horses. It is a place that my liveries and their horses can relax in a safe and tranquil environment.

We have a self contained yard where all paddocks and amenities are away from the road, behind a rustic wooden gate. We have plenty 24/7 grazing in the summer, with all day grazing in the winter. We have 4 separate turn out areas to socialise, play or recover from injury. These have been made with the horse’s health and well being in mind. Ryan and I live on site and despite this we have security lights, alarms and CCTV to ensure our horses and property are safe.

At the heart of our yard is comradery. Everyone encourages everyone else to be the best that they can be. We know that owning a horse or pony is not the cheapest hobby, so why not do it somewhere fun and fabulous?
