Catering to all types of horse and pony, Green Havens Livery Centre in Aberdeenshire is set on 24 acres and offers FULL livery packages.
Our aim is to create a happy, healthy and sociable environment for all horses and ponies on the yard. Our equine care is largely based on two welfare models:
- the 3 Fs (Friends, Forage and Freedom); and
- the 5 domains (nutrition, environment, health, behavioural interactions and mental state).
This provides a brilliant holistic approach to everything we do with horses and means that they can enjoy a peaceful and happy life!
Our livery package is designed specially for the retired horse or pony. However, horses/ponies in work are welcome and the livery package would also suit:
- youngstock
- competition horse/pony in the off-season or when needing a break from competition
- holiday livery
We are happy to tailor the livery package to your individual horse or pony, so please get in touch to discuss!
Basic care for your horse or pony will consist of 24/7 year-round herd turnout (with access to shelter) with a forage-based diet. This is our baseline care which then is built onto with anything else needed by the individual, for example supplementary feeding or care for injuries/conditions/etc.. Any extra feed given is carefully chosen for the individual using low-sugar, high-fibre feeds.
We have managed horses in this way for many years and it is wonderful to see the relationships that it allows horses to form with each other!
Included in our livery package is:
- day-to-day care
- 24/7 year-round mixed herd turnout with access to shelter
- experienced and knowledgeable owner on-site (MSc in Equine Science and a lifetime practical experience with horses)
- hay/haylage in winter
- regular equine sports massage sessions by certified therapist
- arrangement of all routine care (including worming & vaccinations)
Prices start at just £275 per month.
