What every livery gets
New horses spend a week in the isolation paddock behind the barn, need a passport, up-to-date vaccinations and a clean strangles history, and a worming plan we agree with you.
Ask about a stableThe livery page shows the stables free now and the ones with notice given. When there are none, we keep a short list by type of livery and ring in order.
Yes. Retired horses go on part or full livery with extra turnout; youngsters are welcome once they are handled and vaccinated.
A passport, vaccinations up to date, a worming test or recent dose we agree on, and a clean strangles history. Newcomers spend a week in the isolation paddock behind the barn.
Ring Dai or send the form and we will show you round on a weekday evening or a Sunday morning: the stables, the hill fields, the hay barn and the arena. Bring your horse's passport details and we will check the vaccinations before you move.
