Clandon Park Livery is based on the 1000 acre privately owned Clandon Park Estate near Guildford in Surrey. It has offered stabled livery and grass keep for horses since 1641 when the current Earl of Onslow’s ancestors first purchased the Park.
The Clandon Park Livery Manager is Tracey Shakespeare. Tracey first joined the Clandon Park Livery team as an employee after successfully completing two highly successful equestrian projects for the Clandon Park Estate. Tracey is a 4* event rider & coach with a passion to help others to achieve the very best with their horse at whatever level they are riding.
We offer one of the best range of facilities for Grass Liveries in Surrey and are further developing those facilities over the next 12 months with the aim of completing The Clandon Park Grass Livery Centre in 2027. As we expand our facilities and increase availability of grassland we offer places to new Livery owners.
Grass livery for mares or geldings in same sex or mixed herds in parkland fields. The herd’s fields are rotated at least 4 times a year and we have plenty of grass, tested for nutritional value. All paddocks and herds have troughs with automatic water. New fields are being made available 2025, 2026 and 2027.
Facilities include a new 40 fence cross country course, free hot wash box, tea room and the tack rooms have been fully refurbished. We are installing new solar powered security cameras at various locations across the Estate.
We offer stabled Full 7 Day livery on a separate yard with individual or shared paddocks.
We offer livery to responsible experienced adult owners of mares or geldings and we can arrange grazing in either mixed or same sex herds or shared or individual paddocks depending on your livery type. We try to accommodate your needs and those of your horse by offering flexible options within a structured and caring environment. We offer well-managed stables within a farm environment where there is no shortage of excellent grass for grazing horses, our rare breed sheep, making our own hay (also tested for nutritional value) and for exclusive hacking along rides or open routes across our home Clandon Park.
Our liveries are permitted exclusive access to enjoy riding over our meadows, fields, along our many tracks, and down our recently restored ancient rides because they enjoy automatic membership to our private riding club. A routine hack from either of our two yards would allow you to enjoy stunning scenery, take you past some of our beautifully managed lakes, through one of our many sustainably managed forests and along ancient tree-lined avenues and tracks, much the same as you would have enjoyed in the 17th Century, and without ever having to ride on a public highway.
On Clandon Park we also have other businesses including a Garden Centre, a cafe open 7 days a week, a golf course, the Clandon Park Riding Club, Clay Pigeon Shoot, a Rare Breed Sheep farm, Trout Fishing, Clandon Park Nursery School, Clandon Park Forest School and the Clandon Park Rural Education Centre
All our staff are experienced minimum Animal Care/Welfare Level 3 (or equivalent) and up to Lady Onslow who holds Level 4/5 equivalent BHSII Intermediate Teaching Certificate BHSI Stable Manager Certificate who coaches and is a lecturer in Equine Care. Experienced Grooms come from a broad range of backgrounds including animal nursing, livestock management, stable management, showing, dressage, eventing, showjumping or stud management. We have a dedicated full time grassland manager on the Park, an Estate Manager, a Training Director and three full time livery staff (plus career and veterinary placement students).
While we do have our own homebred horses or retired/young horses on site, and the yards are private, we do offer up to 14 stables for external livery clients and up to 500 acres of parkland fields for our rare breed sheep and between 40 -50 grass liveries (for up to 4 separate herds).
Within the Park we have approximately 1000 acres in one holding, however the Estate extends beyond the boundaries towards Newlands Corner and the Downs for further bridleway rides.
We offer a bespoke service, are happy to share our private facilities and Parkland for hacking and we are unlike many livery yards in that we offer up to 1 month a year free stable for grass liveries when under veterinary treatment and advice (terms & conditions apply). As such, there is usually a bit of a waiting list but as we are expanding the waiting time is usually short. If you would like to visit and meet us with a view of being added to that list you are always welcome. Viewing is by appointment with our Clandon Park Livery Manager Tracey Shakespeare or our Director of Training Lady Onslow. Terms & Conditions apply.
