About this yard

The yard works with a mixed string that includes a number of ex-military horses, giving the school an unusual character and a reputation for reliable, well-mannered mounts. Lessons are available for children and adults across a range of ability levels, with the farm setting providing a relaxed, unhurried environment for those building confidence. Countryside hacking is available from the yard through the surrounding agricultural land.
