Fantastic!!! Livery in Berkshire!! New Livery yard in Soley, Nr Hungerford, on the Berkshire/Wiltshire/Oxfordshire borders in a beautiful countryside setting only minutes off the m4, yet seems a million miles away!
We have come to a point that we are able to expand the livery services we are offering, at a simply idyllic yard in beautiful countryside. Having spent many years working for others in the industry and having a small base livery yard for the past year (our now 'satellite' yard) we're confident that we can build on our reputation and offer more services that will appeal to a larger range of horse owners.
Our aim is to provide horses with an un-beatable level of care and provide all the support our clients need to get the most out of their horse, whatever the desire. . . happy hackers will enjoy the wonderful horse riding for miles around, have the comfort of professional help on hand 24/7 and almost always somebody to ride with! Hunters will appreciate the long stretches of open country and the optional fences out on hacks, quiet roads and the labour intensity of owning a hunting horse greatly reduced or even eliminated by our experienced staff. Eventers will be in their element! With a potential 4 arenas! showjumps a plenty and xc course / schooling facility on the doorstep plus there is someone on site 24/7 and riding lessons available to ensure training goes as smoothly as can be! So the list goes on. . . There are packages to suit all in a tidy, friendly and professional yard here at Soley Farm Livery.
