***** Livery Vacancy 🐴 *****

We have got a rare vacancy for a 5 or 7 day part livery coming available at the beginning of April.

All feed (Allen & Page and Dengie), hay/haylage, one bale of shavings a week included (extra shavings billed monthly). All year turnout in pairs or small groups. Floodlit 60 x 40 ménage with mirrors and a good selection of jumps and fillers.

We look after your horse like our own and provide a happy, friendly environment for both horse and human 😊

We’ve got lots going on here with trainers visiting regularly (or you can have your own trainer) and liveries out competing or attending clinics. There is plenty of hacking on offer as well……I hear about far too much galloping around at the moment as the ground is so good, and when you get back from a muddy gallop we’ve got a new wash box with a hot shower to clean your horse - and you if need be 🙈😂🙈

So if you are interested then please drop us a message to arrange a viewing and hear about our 5* service 😊

Are you looking to work with horses, then look no further as we are looking for an additional member of staff to help us.

Thank you Haddon Training Limited for allowing us to work alongside you and providing outstanding training for our apprentices.

💎 Apprenticeships are an amazing way to develop the skills needed for your future career!

We spoke to one of our brilliant apprentices, Jayne Sandiford, about how her apprenticeship has supported her future career goals. 👏

Jayne says, “My apprenticeship gave me a much broader understanding about all the different aspects which are important when working and training horses, not just riding.”
