What does the Livery include?

We will provide your horse with a stable, grazing and water. A tack room is available for your tack, a limited amount of rugs and equipment. Wheelbarrows, forks and brooms etc are on site, however please feel free to bring our own. Your own equipment should be clearly labelled. Most boxes have automatic water feeders.

You are responsible for providing your horses feed/hay/bedding (straw is not premitted) and any supplements.

Your horse will be fed each morning by the first person onto the yard, feed (to be left covered) and hay to be left ready outside your box.

Horses are generally checked no earlier than 9pm every evening, water topped up and extra hay given if neccessary.

Most boxes have a blackboard if you need to leave someone a message.

If you require your horse to be brought in/turned out, mucked out etc then a separate arrangement may be agreed for which a charge will be made.

Livery is payable in advance by the 1st of the month by standing order. DIY stable livery is £150 per calendar month.

What is included in the Full Livery Service?
