Yard Details

We are a small friendly livery yard, just outside Basingstoke, with a resident BHS coach.

We offer 5 day Part and DIY livery, as well as training and coaching on-site with Julia, the yard manager – a BHS Accredited Professional Coach (Stage 4 Teach  & Stage 4 Care and Management) and Centre 10 Advanced Coach. Julia is also an independent Bit Fitting Consultant.

Clients have the use of the 20m by 40m outdoor school all year and in the summer there is also a 20m by 60m grass arena, and a grass area for jumping.

Horses are turned out in small same sex herds. 24/7 turnout is available in the summer and daily turnout in the winter.

The hacking is good and there are lots of local events and training facilities, including Tweseldown, Wellington Riding, Sparsholt & Larkhill

All our liveries are really supportive of each other and we have a great atmosphere on the yard.

As well as on-site training, there are also clinics arranged (on and off site) as well as regular events and shows.

Julia has produced horses placed at HOYS, been a yard manager for an international three day event rider and Olympic dressage rider, and has a lot of experience backing and bringing on youngsters and re-schooling older horses. She now specialises in bringing on grassroots riders and building confidence in both the horse and rider.

We also run the Pensdell Riders Club – membership includes discounted sessions and PRC only events.

Unfortunately because of our dynamic children under 14 yrs old are not catered for on the yard.

Review by Marie-pierre Carter – Jan, 2025
I have been at pensdell for nearly 4 years now and it has been fantastic. Julia’s care and attention to the horses are second to none, I don’t know of many yards where night checks are done every night no matter the weather. We have great hacking lovely maintained school combined with Julia’s great supportive coaching skills. She has helped me hugely with building my confidence. Julia cares about her clients and always plans lots of clinics and event at yard and at other venue and care for all abilities also offering out of the saddle sessions if you need help with achieving your goals. To top it up we have a great supportive bunch of liveries so I highly recommend Julia’s yard

Review by Julie Dillon – Jan, 2025
So lucky to have a space at Pensdell. My special needs older mare is very well cared for by Julia and couldn’t be happier! The ample grazing, outdoor school and off road hacking are great and having lessons /clinics etc on site is a real bonus.. The liveries, many having been at Pensdell for years, are a great bunch, very kind and supportive. Perfect place for horses and owners.

Review by marie – Jan, 2025
I have been at Pensdell with my horse for 4 years. It’s a yard the support every horse and rider with Julia working hard to meet everyone’s needs. It’s calm and set in a beautiful location in the country side. Would recommend highly.

Review by Kat – Nov, 2018
Pensdell is a fantastic yard – one where people stay for a very long time. Julia is a fantastic, knowledgable person with a wealth of experience in horsemanship and the empathy and professionalism of an excellent coach. The yard is well run, very friendly, horses are happy and it offers a range of facilities such as good hacking and a lovely outdoor school and ample storage. Julia and Bob live on the yard and are always happy to help and support their liveries.

Review by Stacey – Nov, 2018
We’ve been at pensdell for a little while now and are more settled than we’ve ever been! The yard and it’s facilities are great, the other liveries are lovely and Julia is awesome! The horses (and us humans) want for nothing.
