Description

ad

We are a family-run livery yard situated on a working farm, offering a warm and friendly welcome no matter what style or discipline of riding you do. Located just off the A68 between Dalkeith and Pathhead in Midlothian, we are easily reached from the centre of Edinburgh and the bypass. Postcode: EH37 5TY.

Grazing
Year-round grazing and daily turnout is available for all liveries.

Fields are sectioned with electric tape into paddocks suitable for groups of 3-5 horses or ponies. We try to keep consistent, compatible groups of same-sex horses to give stability and avoid injuries.

Stabling
Generous-sized internal dutch-barn type stables are available for DIY, part and full liveries.

Livery
Full/part livery is available by arrangement. DIY livery includes your straw and hay or haylage. A limited number of grass liveries are also available.

Facilities
We have 2 floodlit outdoor schools which can be used by all liveries, both surfaced with rubber/sand and the larger school has recently been re-drained, re-fenced and re-surfaced.

Other facilities include a kitchen and lounge for liveries to use; individual secure tack rooms; trailer / horsebox parking; disabled WC.

Hacking
Liveries can take advantage of the great hacking in the area.

Stunning scenery is visible from the grass tracks around the farm's fields, which link to further off-road tracks, quiet roads and the nearby Tyne Esk Trail through Vogrie Country Park.

Phase 1 - A course walk in small groups before each class. Phase 2 -The competition phase, riders jump one round, get feedback in the arena, and jump again if they have time to do so. Times will be given for both phases. Both of the rounds of jumping are given marks for style, effectiveness of riding and the quality of the horse’s jump and its paces. Any show jumping faults over the two rounds are then included to produce a final score. Rosettes 1st - 6th in each class. Classes: Cross poles - 80/90cm Please PM or email Catriona Adams (Treeny@mac.com) for a schedule, closing Wednesday 23td May Entries will only be accepted with payment.
