Livery Options

The American Barn Stables are fully secure, locked at night with a burgular and smoke alarm activated.  The stables are close to the house so we can hear if anyone is cast, coughing or in any distress whatsoever.  All horses are checked last thing at night.

The Part and Full Livery facilities are available from September to April – subject to weather conditions which may mean they have to come into stabling early or turn out later.  There is grass turn out for the summer months.

Part Livery

This option is ideal for when you are too busy to do morning and evening stables but you have the time to ride out yourself.  This includes all hay and straw plus evening feed.   We get your horse in at night, turn out in the morning, muck out and ensure a clean bed of staw, clean water, plenty of hay and evening feed.  As a livery client you have access to all the facilites on the yard included in your livery cost.  This option starts at £100 per week.

Winter Months:

• stable at night

• turnout during day – everyday

• bring in every evening

• hay, straw and evening feed

• use of all facilities

Summer Months:

• gradual turnout program depending on weather conditions – rugs used if weather still cold

• grass keep

• checked morning & night

• use of all facilities

 

Full Livery

For busy people who like to have a fit horse ready to ride/hunt/compete when they have time to.   This includes all care plus your horse is ridden out up to 6 days a week.  We also ensure we are here for the farrier/vet etc. so you do not have to worry about being here.  Subject to the level of fitness and the amount of hard feed your horse requires this option starts at £140 per week.

Winter Months:

• stable at night

• turnout during day – everyday

• bring in every evening

• hay, straw and evening feed

• use of all facilities

• ridden out as per your instructions

• farrier/vet etc. visits are attended to by us

Summer Months

For both options you will be responsible for the payment of your own shoes, vet, teeth, back treatments.  We can organise visits but the costs are not covered in the livery charges.  We worm them all at the same time and this is between £10 and £30 depending on the type of wormer your horse needs.  Everything is fully discussed with you before treatment.

Box Rest

If your horse is injured and you need temporary box rest we can usually accommodate this.  We also have a horse walker if your horse needs to be gradually introduced back to work.  Prices are agreed depending on the treatment and time required.

Travelling to a 3-Day Event?

If you are Competing locally and need overnight accommodation for your horses, we have empty stables in the summer and plenty of parking for lorries overnight.  Please just call for details and availability – very competitive rates compared to staying on site!

Bring your horse to stay for the weekend or longer to enjoy both the facilities and the riding out.  There are several local pubs and B&Bs for you to stay and leave your horse with us.  Prices vary depending on time of year and what your requirements are.  Horse Transport can be arranged if required.  Sample of activities we can offer include:
