We aim to provide a safe and happy stable environment for both you and your horse; our goal is to create a friendly atmosphere whilst maintaining high standards of professionalism and care. Our working team is headed by ourselves (who live on site).
Managers and staff are qualified level 2, 3 and all BHS stages, we also employ a BHS stage 3 senior coach for lessons (flat work and jumping); we also hold regular jumping and dressage clinics and small friendly shows and competitions. We can only provide lessons for people with horses on livery or those staying in our cottages.
Students undertaking equestrian/agricultural studies form part of our working team. We operate a flexible care planning system for each horse, giving you peace of mind that your horse is receiving the best care possible.
There is stabling for horses in two American style barns. Each stable boasts its own lockable tack room, automatic water feeder and rubber matting and there are 100 acres of excellent grazing. At Lower Dale we specialise in Horse Livery Peak District, contact us today to learn more!
