I have returned to horses and riding after a long break. Many years ago I kept a horse here and found it to be a fantastic stables. Now I've come back and to be honest it is even better than before – the facilities are excellent, the staff and other liveries friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The instructors know how to put you at your ease and are great at helping you to feel confident and safe. The owner is lovely (same owner as years ago) and the yard looks beautiful with all the stunning plants and flowers. The schools are well maintained, and the local hacking is excellent.

I have had my horse on full livery at Old Bexley for 5 years now, and cannot say enough positive things! Family friendly, helpful staff, and most importantly an incredibly happy horse who is thriving. Great events (jumping, dressage etc) and really good training from BHS qualified coach. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A very friendly yard where the horse comes first. The staff are very knowledgeable and always willing to help and having an onsite shop is always a plus. There are great hack routes that are easily accessed directly from the yard and regular shows meaning there is something for everyone from the happy hacker to serious event. You feel like part of a family here and I would definitely recommend this yard.

Excellent yard, horses so well cared for. Great instructors, very friendly family orientated yard, suitable for all ages and abilites. Would definately recommend.

Have learnt so much by being at OBEC. Always loads of help for any problems and really enjoy the shows and rallies they put on. Definitely worth a visit

Lovely family friendly yard. Everyone is really helpful and the staff are knowledgeable and it is just like one big family. Nothing is too much trouble. BHS accredited Coach onsite. Dressage and jumping. Joydens wood for hacking (small annual fee payable )with only a short lane (bridle path) to get to it. Really safe. 365 day turnout which is excellent for horses mental health. 2 sand schools so can always school your horse. Round pen for lunging and storage for your feed etc if on DIY. Full livery is excellent too. Wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.

I am a full livery at this yard. The staff are very hard working and friendly. My horse is very well looked after. They are always able and willing to help with my many questions. Highly recommended for pony club, dressage, jumping, hacking out in Joydens Wood and many other activities.
