Equestrian Facilities

We have second-to-none equestrian facilities which we make available to guests on a self-help basis, just like being at a DIY livery.

The stables are spacious and airy, and the riding-out is wonderful. Two separate bridleways are accessed directly from Manor Farm and it is therefore possible for ride for miles and miles straight from the door without coming across any main roads.

Within the yard we have 6 stables, an indoor and an outdoor manege (both full size) and equipped with jumps. The indoor manege has a Martin Collins surface and lights for use in the evenings.

We also have a number of post-and-rail paddocks for turning-out, and there is ample parking for boxes and trailers.

We provide chopped-straw bedding for the stables and guests have access to the barrows, rakes, forks that they need on a shared basis if there are other horses staying here at the time. But, unless specifically agreed, we don’t provide hay, straw or feed since we find that most guests prefer to bring their own.

There are also a number of local instructors who are available for activities like dressage. And there are local riders living in the village who will often be willing to show you some of the local rides.

We are very lucky to have such unrestricted access directly onto public rights of way that surround Teffont and this part of Wiltshire and Dorset. Guests will also find that there is an active equestrian community in and around Teffont, with two local hunts.

We encourage our guests to be as considerate and courteous as possible to other people enjoying the countryside and to other land-owners, especially during the shooting season.
