Website depicts a lovely yard with two schools, gallops, set of showjumps, secure tack room, year round grazing. When I went to view the yard the indoor school surface was dreadful and looked to be unsafe to ride on, the outdoor is not large enough to ride in - just a lunge pen at best, there are gallops available to hire locally but not actually on the farm (I couldn’t work out why there are ‘cross country gallops’ listed on the website, they don’t appear to exist!!), there are a lot of poles but no wings or fillers, the tack room wall has a huge hole in it and the tack room is easily accessible even when the door is locked. The grazing is small paddocks with woefully inadequate fencing, and the vast majority of this was flooded. There was also a sign on a whiteboard on entry stating grazing was shut ‘for a while’. Finally, the hay available to liveries whilst I was walking around smelled horrifically mouldy. This is not a cheap yard, and I was very shocked by how different it was to the one on the website. The man who showed me around was absolutely lovely, but clearly had no equine knowledge, and a lovely yard owner does not make up for all the issues. I feel I had my time wasted by making the trip based on what I saw on the website, when this isn’t actually real!

Very helpful owner. Lots of grass, lots of friendly owners
Very friendly yard, with 2 super arenas, fabulous hacking, parking for trailers etc. Use of quad for clearing paddocks. Great value for money
