About:
Welcome to the livery stables at Netherton Hall. We have superb facilities for your horses and their welfare is our prime concern. We have built a very good reputation in the area for running a very professional but also very friendly yard, whether you are a competition rider or a pleasure rider. Most of our liveries here are permanent full liveries, but we do have a few part liveries and we have horses for breaking, schooling and on holiday and rehabilitation livery. We are also starting to take a few horses on retirement livery where they can live out a grass as a small herd. The stables are owned and run by Vikki Lowe along with her team of qualified staff who are always there to help. Vikki is an advanced dressage rider with her BHS Stage IV. She has a particular interest in breeding, breaking and producing young horses. All our stables have been purpose built to give 5 star accommodation for your horse or pony. They are large and spacious, light and airy. Being inside means it is sheltered in the bad weather with indoor tie up areas for grooming and shoeing and a wash off area with hose pipes. What we offer: DIY or Assisted livery - includes stable, use of all facilities, hay/haylage and straw. Full livery - Includes your stable and use of the facilities, bedding on straw or shavings and our own farm hay or haylage as required. It also includes all mucking out, turning out and bringing in, changing rugs, your basic feeds and generally making sure your horse is happy and well. Working or Schooling livery - Includes all of the above full livery and working your horse 6 days a week. Retirement Livery, we have two sorts of retirement livery, the first sort is similar to the full livery service but designed to your horses specific needs i.e special diet or medication, special turnout or excercise requirements etc.. The other sort of retirement livery we offer is to have your horse turned out in a small herd (limited to 4 or 5 horses) where they are checked every day, rugged, hayed and fed in winter. We will also ride, hack, school or jump your horses or lunge them occasionally or regularly to fit in with your requirements We also do all the other bits if you need them like clipping, pulling, plaiting and grooming. The fields are all electric fenced and horses are turned out in pairs, or individually, if they are a bit too playful! All the fields are safe and well looked after, and all have waterers. We are very proud of having excellent facilities for our horses. Our outdoor school is 20 x 60 meters with a fibresand surface and lights for use at night if needed. The indoor school also has a fibresand surface and is just under 40 metres long, also with lights, ideal when the weather is bad. We have a range of show jumps available to use. The farm ride and cross-country course are available for liveries to use. The farm ride covers over 2 1/2 miles of our land so you can go for a steady walk or a good gallop. The cross-country course has optional jumps of various sizes for beginners or the more advanced. The hacking is very good, there are a wide range of rides on and off road, including around Carsington Reservoir and Tissington and High Peak Trail are within easy reach. We have several very good farriers who come to us or you can bring your own. We have a range of horses with us from dressage horses, show jumpers and hunters to family horses, foals and retired ones. All of them are equally important and we will tailor our services to their needs.
