Based
on an American barn style the livery yard allows a genuine
community to develop with the horses under our care. We are
currently at 16 boxes all twelve-foot square arranged in two
rows of eight facing one another. The boxes themselves were
supplied new by Bradmores of Nottingham and the specification
includes a corner upright hay manger, a rotating feed bucket
and an automatic drinker, some of the boxes have solid partitions
while half have a viewing grill so neighbours can have as
large a degree of contact as they or their owners wish, in
addition half of the boxes have a window onto the yard making
them especially suitable for horses on box rest.
In addition to the excellent accommodation, the care the
horses receive is of the highest standard with feeding plans
developed with the horse’s owners to include supplements
and additives as required.
As a livery client the all weather surface is at your disposal
through the booking system, the cross-country course is also
available for use with the ménage and the hacking resource
of the site being fully included in the livery fee. As a function
of the large upkeep costs of the cross-country course one
training session is included in the livery fee, additional
rounds are charged at the reduced rate of £12.00. In
addition to the training resources we have an extensive list
of competitions in the three principle riding disciplines
ensuring that the training is tested in the heat of genuine
competition. In a developmental sense therefore the site provides
a considerable resource.
We would hate to think that the whole site was a seething
cauldron of competition and rigorous development, we are committed
to enjoyment and if your idea of an ideal morning’s
or afternoon’s enjoyment is a quiet hack through some
of this nations finest countryside, we would be happy to show
you our favourite routes and some of the quiet unspoilt lanes
and tracks that bless this part of the world. For the quiet
rider, if you know were you are going the sight of Roe and
Fallow Dear is a high probability, for those with sharper
eyes the pretty little Munkjack are a lovely sight. The opportunity
to enjoy this relatively small area of paradise is principally
what persuaded us to take on the challenge of Eland Lodge;
we can honestly say that although exhausted, we have not been
disappointed.
