If your horse is on full turnout then the walker will be charged at the ‘extra charge’ below.
Bedding is one bale of shavings per week (we only allow shavings). Two additional bales must be added for initial stable setup. This will be drawn from our stocks and will be charged at our ‘extra rate’. For forage we include two 25lb nets of either hay or haylage.
All horses will be fed by us to avoid doors being kicked unnecessarily between 0730 – 0800 am and 4.30 - 5pm. Please ensure that feed is placed in a labelled container in the feed room prior to those times. If you intend to ride shortly after those times, please let us know in advance and we will only feed a handful at feeding time, leaving you to feed the rest after you have ridden. We do not charge an additional fee for the two main feeds but if you wish your horse to have additional feeds at other times you will need to make other arrangements.
Fields must be poo picked no less than 3 times a week
All equipment must be kept in storage areas and not around stables. A storage area will be subdivided for several DIY Livery Owners to enable incidental equipment to be stored. Any feedstuffs must be kept in vermin proof containers.

Facilities may be used as an when they are available as part of the Livery service. The arena is often used for competitions and training days so will be available on a limited basis when these are not on. We encourage our Livery customers to enter the competitions and enjoy “home” advantage! We ask that all Livery customers return the arena to the same state that they found it in, clearing away any equipment that they may have used. Flood lights, if they are used, are charged as an ‘extra’.
