Yard Details

 

Nestled in the beautiful Leicestershire countryside near the Vale of Belvoir, our premier equestrian facility offers an exceptional standard of care and service.

We specialise in full livery, along with expert rest, rehabilitation, and recuperation services for horses in need of recovery or downtime.

Our team also provides tailored fitness and conditioning programmes, suitable for pre-race training, hunting horses, and those returning to work.

We offer a total of 52 stables on site, thoughtfully arranged to cater to horses of all types and needs. These include a central indoor barn housing 24 stables, two additional barns each with five stables, plus separate blocks of 8 and 3 stables respectively. For mares and horses requiring close supervision, we have four large foaling boxes equipped with 24/7 CCTV monitoring deal for foaling, post-operative care, or any horse needing constant observation. Our stabling is designed to ensure a calm, secure, and hygienic environment, supporting both the physical and mental well-being of every horse in our care.

Additionally we have outstanding facilities including two high-spec Monarch Exercisers, a a top-of-the-line Monarch lunge pen with wax-coated surface, a 5.5-furlong sand and fibre oval gallop, seamlessly connected to a 5-furlong uphill polytrack sprint, and a 20 x 40 rubber chip surface menage equipped with a full set of show jumps.

We firmly believe that horses should live as naturally as possible, which is why we provide numerous paddocks used daily to turnout as many horses as possible. Our well-fenced paddocks vary in size to accommodate all needs from smaller paddocks perfect for mares and foals during initial turnout or injury recovery, to larger paddocks designed for herd turnout.

For owners seeking long-term options, blocks of high-quality stabling are available to rent in a peaceful and well-managed environment.

Your horse’s safety and well being are our top priorities. Situated in the picturesque Melton Mowbray, our equestrian facility is equipped with state-of-the-art security measures to ensure that your equine companions are always protected.

With a long standing reputation in racehorse training and breeding, our yard has been an established part of the equestrian community for many years.
