Livery

We provide students with the opportunity to bring their horse (or horses) with them while they study. On-site livery is offered to students on a DIY or full livery basis. This is subject to availability as demand is always high.

We currently have 150 stables, situated in the Equine Centre, available for student livery at Hartpury - these stables are built within eight different barns and contain the Hartpury loan horses.

All barns have a shared tack room and feed room which are equipped with metal feed storage containers, and all tack rooms have a saddle rack and bridle hook per stable. Each barn is also allocated a student barn mentor who is able to advise new students, and ensure yard standards are maintained.

Livery is charged on an annual fee basis and for the duration of the academic year by recurring card payment in eight instalments or on a termly basis. Students must provide their own mucking out tools, wheelbarrows, buckets, hay nets and associated items. Limited turnout is available all year round subject to weather and ground conditions.

What our students can benefit from

Students liveries have access to all Equine Centre facilities when not in timetabled sessions including:

A solarium
Two horse walkers
Lunge arena
Four indoor schools and two outdoor schools
Access by arrangement and preferential rate to the facilities within the Equine Therapy Centre (including water treadmill, high-speed treadmill and weighbridge) and the Rider Performance Centre (including two mechanical horses and weight lifting platforms)

Stables can be vacated or used during the Christmas and Easter holidays depending on your livery package. Students will be notified of any other dates that stables must be vacant and these are also included within the livery agreement. Whilst there are experienced members of staff on hand to advise, students are responsible for the day to day care of their horse and are expected to abide by the yard rules at all times.
