Rated 5/5 based on 3 reviews

Review by Lorraine Anastasiades – Jul, 2021
Karen and Jodie are incredibly knowledgeable, professional and super helpful. The yard is spotless and the horses really do receive a 5* service. My boy was in a muddle when I moved him to Thurgood Farm from another yard and was generally run down. Karen’s kindness, skill and expertise in diagnosing his issues soon had my horse feeling well and looking amazing through adjusting his diet and helping me bring him back to fitness with a work programme. Both ladies are accomplished eventers, and experienced dressage riders….. lessons are available and the arena is fantastic. small, genuinely friendly yard where everyone supports and helps each other. Highly recommended.

Review by Dawn Barnardo – Apr, 2021
I arrived at Thurgood Farm this January and my horse settled immediately. The owners and staff treat my horse as one of their own and he is totally relaxed and happy. I can rest assured knowing that in my absence he is surrounded by kind knowledgeable people that will go above and beyond to assure his safety and comfort. The facilities are first class and the full livery service I receive is second to none. I cannot rate this yard highly enough. Thank you Karen, Jodie, Kevin and their amazing team.
