Ridden Paddock Paradise Livery located near Newport, Shropshire.

This yard is suitable for ridden horses, or those in work, and/or horses who cannot have hay due to allergies, equine asthma and so on.

Our set up is designed to optimise your horses health by trying to mimic their natural behaviours and environment, based on Jaime Jackson’s research. Therefore, we are a natural horse care orientated yard. We prioritise horse centric care by meeting the fundamental, natural needs of our horses, offering 24/7 turnout and movement, adlib forage, herd living and a species appropriate environment.
