Liveries & Loanees

Livery

Please note that DIY livery facilities are not available at Springwood Stables.

Our livery packages and fees are below.

All our horses and ponies are treated as if they are our own, with emphasis on correct management, care and wellbeing always being top priority. BHS trained managers deal fully in the care of all livery and school horses on a daily basis, giving owners the knowledge that their horse/pony is in the hands of experienced horse professionals at all times. This small, close-knit team of professionals come highly recommended by Liphook Equine Hospital and local equine experts.

All livery packages include professional service organisation and attendance with our yard vet, Tim Adams from Liphook Equine Hospital. Liphook Equine Hospital is 6 miles from GEC offering full emergency care. Transport to LEH in emergencies is available.

Our yard farrier, Sean Roche, is on the yard weekly to shoe and is always available upon request. Sean is reliable, well qualified and very experienced and fantastic with horses.

If liveries chose to use LEH and Sean Roche we will arrange appointments, catch in and attend the visit and turn out again afterwards, meaning if you are busy at work we can do this for you.

Liveries have full use of the Greatham Equestrian Centre facilities including secure tack room, storage shelf, rug rack, WC and changing room, 30m x 40m floodlit, all weather surface school, yard, parking and access to nearby woodland and superb hacking.

Livery is available for all types of horses, ponies and people, however we specialise in children and teenagers. As liveries, offering parents the ability to drop their children aged 12 and above to the yard with their lunch to spend the day with their pony, safe in the knowledge that they will be supervised by first aid trained, DBS checked adults. Liveries are welcome to join in group lessons, book private/semi private lessons as well as use the school during designated livery riding times. Sundays are for liveries only with full use of the facilities from 9.30-4.30.
