Valley Farm Natural Livery

Extra grass day today.
We strip graze across our winter field so that the horses have new grass to eat throughout winter. Generally we extend the grazing once a week but it's weather dependent as we don't extend after a hard frost or heavy rain, so sometimes it's sooner or later than that.
With hay supplies being limited across the country this year it's a relief to know we've got grass left

Welcome to spring, what a delightful day it is!
At least the horses have access to forage, freedom and friends in their open barn where they can shelter from the weather.

We've got one space available for a pony to join us at our holistic, high welfare livery yard.

We offer much more than grass livery.
🌟24/7 turnout with a large barn and yard area so there's always a dry place to stand to get out of the rain.
🌟Hay is available in the yard all year round
🌟 Large riding arena, 1100sqm (standard 40x20m is 800sqm)
🌟 Access to good hacking routes
🌟 Small yard, no more than 6 horses in total
🌟 Your own stable
🌟 Personal, large storage space
🌟 Covered area for vet and farrier visits

We have a lovely mixed herd who are very well settled here and enjoy the freedom to be in the field or in the yard as they choose. This is the first time we have a space in the 2 years since we opened, and only have a space now as someone is moving away.

Options for part livery (we do all the poo picking) at £420pcm or DIY (owner does 8 barrows of poo picking a week) at £360pcm

The horses are enjoying being out in the field this morning.
You can really see where the grass is longer, as they haven't had access to that part yet.

Fence moving day! The recent dry weather and strong winds has meant the winter field has dried out beautifully.
The horses spent a couple of hours in the grass then chose to bring themselves up to the barn for a snooze

I love what my friends over at Home Farm Holistic Livery offer. If you're on my waiting list and are within reach of Mottram, Tameside I'd recommend you check them out.

Happy horses today in the morning sun. The rest of the herd is munching in the field.
We have one space available for a barefoot horse or pony under 16h.
