Hogholm Stables Training and Livery Yard
Description
Boutique hotel for horses; Highly Recommended for Outstanding Performance by BHS; superb facilities; run by friendly, professional staff. Come and see! Run by riders for riders, Hogholm Stables is conveniently located only 2½ miles from Kintore and Inverurie, and 15 miles from Aberdeen city centre. Sited in beautiful countryside with wonderful views of Bennachie and the rolling Garioch landscape, the yard offers easy access to all the main competition centres in North East Scotland. A BHS Approved Livery Yard since 2003, Hogholm is a secure yard with the owners, Lorna Anderson and Steve Redgrave, living on site.
The yard is run with two principles in mind: safety and fun. Simple yard rules – available on request – ensure that everyone, whether two-legged or four-legged, enjoys their time at Hogholm.
Every horse has its own spacious stable, with rubber matting, Haybar, tying points and rug rail, in purpose-built modern American barns. With stabling for 17 livery horses, including the owners’ horses, the yard is large enough to be sociable but small enough to be friendly. Based alongside the livery yard, in a self-contained 9-stable barn, is West Eventing.
The excellent riding facilities – 63x20m indoor school with mirrors, 60x20m floodlit outdoor arena with mirrors and 50x45m outdoor sand school - are complemented by varied hacking and field riding. As Hogholm does not hold competitions, there is open access to all facilities within yard hours (0730-2130).
The yard’s owner, Lorna Anderson, not only coaches clients in flatwork, but also hosts regular Clinics with top flatwork trainers from the UK and Europe. Livery clients are also welcome to bring in their own trainers.
