🐴 Free Livery / Loan Opportunity at Holme Lacy College

Are you looking for the opportunity to enjoy regular riding without the full commitment of horse ownership?

Here at Holme Lacy College, we are offering a free livery / loan agreement within a professional environment.

🌟 How It Works

Owners’ horses will be ridden and cared for by our students as part of their training and education. In return, owners can benefit from:

🐎 * The opportunity to ride once a week
📅 * The option to ride more frequently by booking a paid lesson with one of our BHS-accredited coaches

What’s Included

* A lovely, purpose-built yard with spacious stables
* All-year turnout
* Hacking across the Holme Lacy estate (600+ acres)
* A spacious indoor arena with a simulated cross-country course
* A large outdoor arena with a full set of Jump for Joy jumps
* Access to a cross-country course
* A friendly, welcoming yard atmosphere
* Horses cared for by highly qualified, experienced BHS staff
* Excellent welfare standards

💴 Costs

* The only cost to the owner is vet bills
* No deposit required

👀 What We’re Looking For

We are seeking safe, sensible horses suitable for developing riders. This helps us cater to a wide range of abilities and ensures a positive experience for our students.

Horses must be:

*14’2h +
* Well-mannered
* Reliable
* Happy to work in a teaching environment (both ridden and on the ground)

Why Choose Us?🤩

This is a great opportunity to have your horse exercised regularly while saving money—without giving up your own riding time.

We’re certainly enjoying the sunshine here at Holme Lacy College! ☀️

There’s been plenty of after-exam fun going on—from some students experiencing XC for the very first time, to our younger horses having their first go too! 🐎💨

We’ve also had showjumping, horseball fun, racing saddle and a visit from Geraint Hughes, Equine Dentist, who taught our students all about the importance of equine dentistry 🦷—even giving them the chance for some hands-on experience!

well done to Maria for being brave and getting stuck in… quite literally 😆💪🏼

We can’t wait to meet you!

🌟Last week of term was such a busy but rewarding one!🌟

Our Level 3 first-year students kicked things off by getting stuck in with quad bike manoeuvres, tractor driving, rolling the fields, repairing fencing, and learning just how important paddock and grass maintenance is for our horses. It might be an equine course, but we’re lucky enough to enjoy hands-on experiences like this too!

We also had some Easter fun, with all of our students taking part in games and a bit of friendly competition. A real highlight was having a go at horseball, thanks to Phoebe—one of our students—who has represented Great Britain, so there was no better person to teach everyone how it’s done!

To top it all off, the BHS organised a fantastic fun ride around our beautiful estate. We’re incredibly fortunate to have such amazing hacking facilities—not many people can say they get to ride in front of a stately home!
