Yard Details

We are a small, quiet, adults-only yard offering full and part livery for up to 9 liveries, alongside our own retired horses. We care for a wide range of horses and ponies of any age, breed and discipline, from much-loved companions, through youngstock, horses in rehab, and from happy hackers, through low-key riding club right up to multiple national champions. We have extensive experience of day to day husbandry, nursing care, breeding and foaling, hunting, showing, and competition, and we offer the reassurance of careful attention to your horse’s health and happiness at all times. We offer year-round turnout in small social groups, and can provide 24/7 turnout in summer if appropriate; restricted grazing can also be accommodated if required. Our indoor and outdoor arenas provide a great opportunity for schooling and exercise whatever the weather, with use of our comprehensive SJ and WH fences, and we have easy access to excellent hacking on the Neroche Herepath. We are close to several competition and training centres, with two active riding clubs nearby, and we have easy access to the M5 and A303. External instructors are welcome and we arrange clinics and teaching days across various disciplines during the year. Our arenas can also be hired independently for schooling, lessons or clinics.

Catherine is very caring, helpful ,knowledgeable and friendly. My mare settled quickly in her lovely peaceful yard.It is great to have both an indoor and outdoor school and both Summer and Winter fields.There is good hacking on the Herepath and quiet lanes.The other liveries are friendly and helpful too!

Review by Rosie – Aug, 2024
Couldn’t recommend Curland more! It’s a friendly and relaxed yard with great facilities. Catherine’s knowledge and horsemanship is unmatched, and she looks after all the horses as if they’re her own. Me and my boy love it here, couldn’t imagine being anywhere else!

Review by Jenny Williamson – Aug, 2024
Catherine yard is lovely, peaceful well kept and my horses needs are met to a very high standard. The people are lovely and friendly and in an indoor and outdoor school really handy. Hacking is good on the nearby herepath. Catherine is extremely knowledgable and a mine of information. She helped me enormously when I got a new horse a year ago.

Review by Karen Hedderly – Apr, 2021
I can thoroughly recommend Curland Equestrian Centre for livery. My horse has been at Curland for nearly two years now. Lovely facilities, all year round turn out and brilliant choices for hacking! He is cared for like one of the family.

Review by Sarah – Apr, 2021
If you ever had the chance to move to this yard you would not be disappointed.The most wonderfully knowledgable Catherine will look after your prince or princess like they were her own. Happy yard, happy horses and the best of care. Lovely facilities are another bonus.My boy spent 18 months with Catherine and he would definitely not have gone just anywhere, only somewhere really special where he was treated as an individual (and maybe slightly spoilt!) but it was George!!

Review by Karen Westaway – Apr, 2021
I can totally recommend Catherine and her wonderful yard at Curland- my horses have enjoyed being with her for a long period of holiday livery and I never had a moment’s worry about them, even though I was 1000’s of miles away. Her standard of care, wealth of knowledge and dedication to each and every detail of horse care and comfort is outstanding – they came both came home wanting to go back!

Review by Lucinda Sims – Apr, 2021
Catherine Gray is one of the most knowledgeable caring diligent people I know. If I came back as a horse I would only want to be cared for by her. Her particular unique skill is surgery aftercare and nursing / rehab. I have sent her two horses from Hampshire for just that and she has worked miracles.

Review by Jane Cross – Apr, 2021
We can’t praise this yard enough. Run by Catherine every little detail is thought of backed by her experience and knowledge. The facilities are fabulous with the indoor and outdoor school allowing for all year round riding and the hacking out is superb.

Review by Gina – Apr, 2021
I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I feel safe in the knowledge that Catherine cares for my horse like her own. Friendly yard with great facilities.

Review by Anna Stewart – Apr, 2021
My gorgeous Spanish boy was at Curland Equestrian yard for 6 months while my stables were being built. The care and attention he received there was wonderful. Catherine is the perfect combination of professional, helpful and friendly. Her huge experience with horses means her yard is peaceful and extremely well run. No dramas here! The indoor arena is a blessing in winter, big variety of jumps in the outdoor arena and the hacking is fantastic. Lots of turnout and happy horses. Close to several great competition venues and excellent local trainers. Thoroughly recommend.

Review by Kathryn Baker – Apr, 2021
Fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable yard who are always top notch in their horse care, advice and facilities. Great schools and selection of both showjump’s & working Hunter courses for hire. Not many places I would happily send my horses for livery, but this would definitely be one of them, safe in the knowledge that they would get absolutely fantastic care and attention.

Review by Joy Bawden – Apr, 2021
Beautiful yard, lovely lady, Always puts the horses 1st, Tip top care that won't be beaten,Great facilities, and friendly people all round!Also a great place to take a youngster who hasn't met an indoor arena before, as well as the fab outdoor!

Review by Charlotte Venables – Apr, 2021
Beautifully kept yard, horses at the heart of everything Catherine does, great place for hacking out and wonderful arenas (indoor and outdoor). Would 100% recommend!

Review by Dominique Ricci – Apr, 2021
Curland Equestrian Liveries is a really lovely yard with all year turnout in well-managed fields. 24/7 tournout on grass during the summer, which the horses love. I kept my horse 3 years at Curland and I couldn't have found a better place for my first owned horse. Catherine is a very knowledgeable horsewoman with a high sens of customer service. She will give your horse a 5* care and a great peace of mind.The yard is perfectly situated, only few minutes from fantastic off road hacking and competition center. The indoor adds this bit of comfort during the winter months but also during summer when we seek much needed shade. I highly recommand Curland facility.

Review by Lucy Pritchard – Apr, 2021
This is a great yard with high standards and great facilities. What are you waiting for?

Review by Beverley Molter – Apr, 2021
Highly recommended this yard has very high standards hard to find nowadays …every effort will be taken to cater for your horse or pony in an efficient no drama manner by someone who has extensive horse husbandry and veterinary knowledge .

Review by Sarah Radcliffe – Apr, 2021
I left my two ponies at Curland Equestrian Centre for holiday livery and they were looked after perfectly. Nothing was too much bother for the owner, and both ponies were loved and cared for as the team look after their own ponies. I've also regularly hired the arenas for personal use, and organised Pony Club events in the arenas, and all bookings are handled in a very professional manner. I would highly recommend Curland as a livery stables.

Review by Claire Bennett – Apr, 2021
Wonderful facilities, horses cared for as if they are owners own. Extremely well look after turnout and great atmosphere. Wish I lived closer xxxx

Review by Alison Tomlinson – Apr, 2021
As a livery yard owner mysrlf who prides herself on attention to detail and outstanding care. If ever I needed or wanted livery for my horses I would unreservedly happily place them in the full time care of Catherine Gray @ Curland Equestrisn Centre. Her eye for detail, her experience, her wealth of knowledge , her pride in performance and care would fill me every confidence that my horses were in the very, very best place.

Review by Pax Well – Apr, 2021
Highly recommended owner, as very experienced and has the horse's welfare first

Review by Cordet Smart – Apr, 2021
I have used the facilities at Cyrlamd many times and found the yard very professionally run. We also on one occasion had one of our ponies staying there during a rally event and she enjoyed exceptional care and quality livery. A lovely yard, would recommend.

Review by Emma Kelley – Apr, 2021
Absolutely tip top care for my mare and foal . Nothing is too much trouble for Catherine and the horses always come first

Review by Fiona Cabrol – Apr, 2021
Knowledgeable, caring owner who will give your horse the very best of care! If I still lived nearby my horse would certainly be stabled with Catherine at Currand !
