Livery on the farm:

We currently have 48 horses on the farm. We have a few of our own, a number of rescues and the rest to livery clients. Our horses live as horses should, in a herd and out in nature. During winter they grow a shaggy winter coat and are not put inside or blanketed. They graze freely, with supplemented food only if necessary. The entire herd are deticked and dewormed on a regular basis and are visited by a farier also on a regular basis. If you are interested in keeping your horse/s in this ideal place, please contact us for our very competitive livery fees
