We already have quite a few booked in for 2026 but here’s a little info on what we offer and a reminder to book in early to avoid disappointment!

- Schooling Livery - whether this be progressing general schooling/dressage work, starting jump training or getting your horse to hack out better. We can take to arena hires and locals shows as well if required. We can also provide “fat camp” options, plenty of experience with metabolic issues, with safe weight loss exercises and correct nutritional knowledge.

- Sales Livery - taking the stress out of selling as we cover everything. Training, advertising, viewings and final sale paperwork. No commission taken.

- Backing Livery - Putting in a solid foundation with plenty of groundwork, long reining and then ridden work. We prioritise getting out hacking over having them in the school which usually promotes more confidence horses.

- Behavioural Livery - offering second chances to horses and owners working with issues under saddle or on the ground/trailer, we are happy to try and overcome anything. Personalised positive training methods for each horse.

- Holiday Livery - Less stress while you go away knowing your horse is fully cared for. You can have them exercised or not so covers retired or youngstock as well.

- Day Sessions - bring your horse to our yard for a session (ridden or groundwork), can either leave them for the day and get a full pamper out of it or just for an hour session on any issues you may have.

Please be aware deposits are essential to securing your space. We only take a couple horses at a time so they have our full attention, so horses come in order of deposits given with 1 space available at all times for emergency behavioural/sales liveries. Deposits are half of first week’s livery and non-refundable but can be moved to the next year if needed.

🐴 Catering to every horse as an individual 🐴

Although we pride ourselves with being able to offer 24/7 all year round turnout in a mud free field, we also offer overnight stabling to those that like to stay in their usual routines 🥰

The new arrival is a blast from the past. We had this boy on Sales Livery 5 and a half years ago! He’s only here for a couple weeks to be brought back into work due a little break after competing at Scone since his owner is pregnant and unable to do it herself! Quite happy with his new little friend who will be keeping him company in the stables overnight 🙈

A much needed project pony update 🐴

Blossy has had some down time to fill out a little more after being backed. She’s now away to come back into work!

Willow… is no longer available as I’ve yet again spotted a strange belly growing 🤦🏼‍♀️ scanned today in foal 🙈 2 out of 3 what are the chances! Next year is going to be fun 🥴 very thankful these girls have landed with me and will be in a safe experienced home to raise their babies 🥰
A little before and after, only a month and a half between each photo 😂

A familiar face is back with us while her owner is away 😍
We are always so thankful owners trust us with their pride and joys but even more thankful when they trust us to look after them while they are on holiday 🥰 we have put a lot of effort in to making our yard peaceful and relaxing for the horses so they settle quickly and can make full use of even short stays with us!

The potential of this mare is only just starting to shine ✨

Had her first canter and it was nice and balanced! A dressage diva might be on the cards for next month 🙈
She’s super light in the hand, responsive to the leg and her movement gets stronger every week!
We have found she’s shrunk after getting her over grown feet done the other week so she is actually now 15.3hh 🙈 but has soo much filling out to do still being only 5 and just backed. This is probably only her 6th time being ridden as we have focused a lot of ground work to help fill her out.
She still has a lot of confidence to build but a quiet balanced rider would do so well with her!

Lunan Christmas Beach Hack 🌊

We are thinking of having a group beach hack the weekend before Christmas (20/21st). Just wanting to gauge in advance how many people would be interested in joining us?

We will have parking away from the public car park and can also provide stables for young horses to be safely tacked up in as well. Large mounting block in our school will be available if needed.

Guided route which we are looking at just being a walk for building horses and riders confidences but happy to see about making a canter group as well if enough interest.

Pop a comment if this is something you’d be interested in and give it a share!

My little cutie pie is in need of a new name!

Since she’ll be staying long term with the pregnancy, we don’t think her current name suits her 🙈

If anyone has any suggestions, comment below!
Winning name can have first dibs on foal cuddles when it arrives next year 😂

🐴 Project Ponies Update 🐴

First beach walk for Blossy and it’s safe to say she’s a total water baby! She was so relaxed and took everything in her stride the whole time.

Then first trot and little hack for Willow since her auntie Che was up to help ride!

Blossy - 16hh, 5 year old, registered ISH mare - low to mid 4 figures
Willow - 13hh, 6 year old, Cob mare - low 4 figures

And just like that, we are backed and riding away with their second ride today!

They are now available as is after having had dentals and the farrier. Their prices will increase the more we do with them.

Blossy - 16hh, 5 year old, registered ISH Mare.

The darker nights only mean one thing, I’m back to studying 📚

Please be patient with evening messages as I may be slow to reply or miss messages completely until the next day while I am in the “zone” 🤓

I’m a student Equine Ergonomist which is a type of saddle fitter who looks more at horse AND rider anatomy.
As part of my case studies, next year I will be offering free saddle assessments to any Liveries that book in with us. This is by no means a replacement of seeing a qualified saddle fitter but is more a helping hand along side them. Having this assessment done not only helps you and your horse by seeing if there is any body alinement issues or where muscular work may be needed with certain measurements being taken, but it also helps the saddle fitter as I can give them a guideline of what types and sizes of saddles to bring if needing a new one fitted or adjustments needed, which reduces their busy work load a little!
The company I am working through teaches not only how to fit English but also western saddles for anyone that likes to dabble 🤠

🐴 Project Ponies Update 🐴

The girls all got a night in the stables and then dentals done early this morning! With only a few little sharp points needing sorted 2 out of 3 have the all clear to start ridden work!

The other one, which we haven’t done much with as I had suspicions… a belly that was just becoming an odd shape now that she’s put weight on with some good feeding and thankfully the vet had a scanner with her to make sure I wasn’t going crazy but yes we have a BOGOF 🙈

So it is now only 2 project ponies that will be officially available as of next week once they see the farrier. They will currently be classed as “unbacked” but prices will go up as they progress.

🐴 Project Ponies update 🐴
Week 1 is complete and it’s about time for a proper introduction!

Photo number 1 is Blossy!
16hh, 5 year old, registered Irish sports horse.
Previously been backed but is now needing re-backed after 2 years off to mature. She is such a people person and has so much love to give 🥰 She’s started long reining today and will be doing so for the next week before she starts ridden work again.

Photo number 2 is Willow!
13hh, 6 year old, Cob mare.
She got her feathers clipped as she does have a little bit of CPL, so being clipped and now getting the correct supplements should help reduce and maintain it. She is unbacked but as you can see takes everything in her stride, so we feel a little sports cob in the making very soon 🙈

Photo number 3 is Dior!
13.1hh, 7 year old, cob mare.
This little cutie is also unbacked but is the more nervous of the 3, still very much a people person though, just getting desensitised to fast movements and being touched all over but she is trying her best 🥰
