After the heartbreaking loss of our lovely Harley last year, we are still looking for the right equine & their human to join our little yard.
Available from 1st August we will have a space in our herd of 8 for a gelding, 16hh and under.
Sadly we can’t accept horses with back shoes or mares.
Please see below for an outline of how we keep our horses, and if you feel we may suit you and your horse please drop me a message…
Full livery (no DIY) on a friendly, small private yard.
9 stables on 18 acres and a very large corral for group hard standing turnout (useful for wet weather and horses needing restricted grazing).
10 minutes road work to excellent hacking in Rushmere, Stockgrove, Ramamere woods and heathland.
We would ideally suit ladies who love spending quiet, quality time with their horses, enjoy hacking, clinics, fun rides, chatting, coffee/cake breaks and the occasional night out!
Geldings up to 16hh, with no back shoes who are well mannered and enjoy plenty of group turnout - we keep them in a natural herd situation as much as possible, turnout is all year (extreme weather depending), stables are used minimally.
Our usual routine is for the horses to go out to graze at night and come into the corral through the day, thus enabling the horses to stay as a herd and have as much time out as possible, but having them on hand to be ridden through the day, to help monitor weight more effectively and rest the paddocks.

▪️7 days a week day to day care of your horse, treated as if they were our own.
▪️All hay, standard hard feed and bedding (fair use applies)
▪️Stable
