Yard Details

I  have a rare space for retirement livery on a beautiful quiet private estate near Newbury West Berkshire. I offer bespoke care to a small number of loved horses who deserve the very best in their golden years.

I provide year-round grazing over in post and rail / hedge-lined paddocks. Fields are rotated according to weather and season, and rested when necessary. Grazing is in a stunning 15 acre meadow and we don’t use chemical spray or fertiliser. Our soil is well-drained and the land is beautifully maintained. Each field has a large field shelter with a hardstanding, and the horses also benefit from natural shade from large trees, as well as a stream that runs through the meadows. Our fields are large and easily accessible.

We welcome horses who thrive in a herd-like, natural environment while receiving the individual care they need. Spaces are limited to ensure each horse receives the attention they deserve, and care is taken to ensure that each horse is a good fit within each herd. 

Finally, I have over 30 years of experience with horses, and offer stress-free retirement for your much-loved friend.  

Your horse’s welfare and care is my top priority. The monthly cost includes:

• Year-round turnout in large, well-maintained, rotated fields
• Large field shelters
• Twice-daily checks including rug changes• ad-lib hay fed in winter
• hard feed fed in winter if req
• 24/7 vet cover (owner is resp for costs)
• Routine trimming by farrier 
• Minor cuts + grazes treated
• Worming programme
• Yearly dentistry by qualified EDT (owner is resp for costs)
• Assistance with vet, farrier dentist
• Full public liability+employers liability cover

Review by Terri – Apr, 2025
Bridgett has been with me since she was 3 years old, in 2020 a friend put me in contact with Alex, I decided to retire her completely and nearly 5 years of my girl being at Kimber, I can honestly say, it was the best thing I did. Beautiful, safe surroundings and brilliant/faultless care by Alex and her team! Bridgett is extremely happy and if not, a bit more cheeky in her older age! In June, Bridgett turn’s 28 years old and keeping her moving 24/7, as an older horse, I think is key to living out her older years, the herd she is with are a lovely bunch and are extremely happy. Alex is brilliant with contact, updates (love the picture updates) and visiting is always welcome. 5* retirement for horses.

My lovely George has been at Kimbwr for 4 years and I can honestly say he has never been happier or more relaxed. He was always traditionally out in day , stables at night and I worried about how he would adapt to being out all the time time. I needn’t have worried . He soon became head of his little herd and is the happiest horse – I kind of wish I’d brought him to Alex’s sooner. Alex is lovely and communication is good. To add to that, visiting kimber is like therapy- such a beautiful place . George is 18 next week and will stay at Kimber for the rest of his days xx
