We offer a range of Livery service on our farm, from D.I.Y to Full Livery where we provide stabling and paddock for your horse/pony, including a supply of bedding and hay, use of the Manège, feed storage area, tack room and general use of Grove Farm equipment for the keep of your animal.
As we live on the farm this makes keeping your animal that much more secure.
We have some very nice off road riding with only about 50 yards on the road to reach it.
This is when we will take care of all the daily needs of your horse to make sure he/she is comfortable and happy. We include feeding, mucking out, turn out, rugging in inclement weather, grooming, and general care. We will lunge or school your horse to keep him/her fit for you to ride whenever you are able. Hay, Straw bedding, hard feed and a supply of apples and carrots are also supplied. We can arrange for the farrier to visit when you cannot be here and will be available for dentist and vet visits as well.
Part livery is difficult to describe as the details are based on working around your other commitments. Part Livery always includes Hay, Bedding, Paddock, Stable and Turning Out.
We supply straw bedding, hay and a cosy stable as well as a paddock and we leave all the work to you. We will assist with the looking after of your animal if you are on holiday or unavailable at a small extra cost. This will depend on the time of the year and how much you want us to do.
Our prices start from £25.00 per week for D.I.Y Livery and £75.00 per week for Full Livery. Please see the table below for what each type of livery includes.
