Review by Jess – Mar, 2025
I couldn’t recommend Valley View highly enough! I have been with them for 9 years, which shows how much my horse and I love it there! They’re always so supportive if things aren’t quite going to plan… Their care for all the horses is second to none and the facilities are great! Floodlit school, private gallops, own storage space, hot wash/solarium the list goes on! Highly recommend, never been so happy 💗

Review by Caitlin Milne – Mar, 2025
The absolute best livery yard around for so many reasons. The facilities are fantastic meaning I can ride all year round even after work in the winter under the floodlights. The field management is brilliant meaning even in the depths of winter my mare gets a lot of turnout which she loves. The staff are all so caring treating every horse as their own, and making sure all their needs are met. My mare was on some important medication last year and the staff made sure she never missed a dose and notified me of any problems straight away. This yard is a blessing meaning I don’t have to worry about my mare at all whilst I am at work and can just enjoy spending time with her. I am very grateful to the whole team.

Review by Jenny – Mar, 2025
VVE creates such a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere, which makes you really feel part of the community and staff and other liveries are really friendly. The standard of care is really high and staff go above and beyond, treating every horse as if they are their own. The facilities are great; floodlit school, set of showjumps which are on grass in the summer, round pen, grass gallops with a couple of solid jumps, village hacking, hot wash, solarium, tack room, space for individual storage, year round grazing, good sized stables and plenty of hard standing for grooming/tacking up. But the thing that really makes this yard special is the people! Don’t know what I would do without them 🙂

Review by Beth – Mar, 2025
Valley View do the most amazing job looking after our daughter’s pony on full livery. The team can’t do enough and are always happy to help with anything and everything. Our ponies have wanted for nothing over the years whilst being in the care of Scott and his amazing team. Always a warm and friendly atmosphere, and amazing, well-kept facilities too!

Review by Kim – Mar, 2025
Valley view is an amazing place. All the staff are friendly, well trained and committed to the health and well being of all the horses and ponies they look after. The attention to detail when doing any job is of a very high standard. I would highly recommend having a visiting if you are looking at moving your horses.

Review by Niamh – Mar, 2025
I honestly couldn’t recommend Valley View highly enough. I have been with them for several years and the team have never failed to provide top quality care. They take the time to evaluate each horses needs as an individual and create an exceedingly supportive environment for both horse and rider.

Review by Tristan Thomas – Mar, 2025
Had my horse for comin up to 6 years now and I’ve not seen him settle in to a yard quick enough. He was never very good bringing on to the yard always broke free and couldn’t stand still. Because of the lovely nature and how relaxed the yard is he seems like a different horse. Everyone on the yard is lovely aswell which is a bonus happy horse happy owner!

I have completed my work experience on 2 occasions with Valley View Equestrian Ltd. I know they always put the horses comfort and happiness first and will do everything possible to make sure that yours and your horses requirements are met. Everyone is so kind and inviting and the yard is a lovely environment to be in.

Review by Lily Edwards – Mar, 2025
Absolutely great yard – horses are always prioritised with exceptional facilities and such a hard working team of people. Highly recommend.

Review by Steph – Mar, 2025
I’ve moved my horse here in 2012 and am still here so that says a lot about this livery yard. Scott, the owner and resident BHS coach puts every ounce of his passion for horses into each and every horse under his and his fantastic teams care. Aimee the yard manager goes out of her way to help and has so much knowledge. The entire team mean I don’t ever have to worry about my horse when I’m not there. Onsite facilities are great – the hot wash & solarium are a blessing in the winter!. Would highly recommend this friendly, happy yard to anyone
