About this yard
Lower Dale Farm is a 5-star BHS highly commended livery yard set on 100 acres in Marple, Stockport, originally built in 1719 and fully renovated. Facilities include stabling in two American-style barns for 29 horses, a full-sized floodlit dressage arena with mirrors (sand/fibre surface), an express eventing arena, a lunge pen, and woodland trails.
