We strongly believe that every Horse and Pony deserves a decent start to life.
This is where we come in...
The services we offer
Breaking Livery
We will break your pony in to a very high standard, leaving no issues unsolved and certainly never creating any.
No pony is rushed, if they are unsure at any stage in the process we go back a few steps until they understand.
We suggest a period of atleast 8 weeks to successfully break-in and ride away your pony - always depending on the individual and previous experience.
This includes longreining, lunging, "bomproofing", polework, hacking etc; if you would like, we can take your pony to their first show - not necessarily to compete but to familiarize them with the showground atmosphere.
Schooling livery
We use an understanding, calm yet firm approach to our training.
We offer the full package...
We don't school your pony and just give him/her back to you.
We involve you as much as possible.You can come and visit your pony at any time and meet us at shows.
We keep you informed and explain to you how your pony is getting on, what we are doing, why we are doing it and why your pony is responding the way he/she is.
We use a safe, easy to understand method which is adjustable to each and every pony, so when your pony returns home you can continue in the right direction.
We offer full support and love hearing from previous clients.
(For a good old chat!!!)
Competition livery
We like to compete the ponies 3 weekends a month, with some shows on weekdays in between, this gives them a weekend to just chill out, hack or even hunt (with your permission.) We feel this gives them chance to unwind and therefore compete to their best ability.
Your pony will have his/her personal competition calendar, planned specifically with Age, experience and fitness in mind. You are more than welcome to choose which shows he/she attends and are invited to be as hands on (or not) as you want, both at shows and at home.
Arrangements can be made for your Horse to be competed by us whilst based elsewhere.

You can be as involved (or not) as you want in the sale of the Pony.
We will ALWAYS make sure your Pony and his/her new owner match.
We charge Schooling/Breaking Livery for the first two weeks whilst we assess your Pony.
After the assessment we will discuss with you and decide whether to advertise your Pony immediately or to continue with his/her schooling.
Then, when everyone is happy that your Pony has reached his/her ideal point of sale, sales livery charges commence.

Equine Kindergarten Club Livery
Our unique livery offers Youngsters the start in life they deserve.
They are turned out in one of our well maintained paddocks, together with a variety of juveniles, brood and barren mares including the Matriarch.
This simulates a band which (together with appropriate handling) instills the respect, the want to behave and be accepted that is an essential part of forming a well rounded horse!!!
Your equine friend will be brought in everyday to be handled, groomed, have their feet picked out and be introduced to bitting, tack and rugs.
They are given a balanced hard feed diet all year round and fed hay during the cold winter months.
We practice leading in the school, around the village and fields which prepares them for shows and hacking out at a later stage.
When your Horse is ready to be broken in, you can either transfer him/her onto our breaking livery, sell him/her (with or without our help) or take your well rounded, confident youngster home.
