Facilities

Over the last few years facilities at Mill Yard have grown.

We offer stabling in airy loose boxes, setup in an "American Barn" style arrangement. 

Each stable has automatic drinkers to allow a permanent supply of fresh water at all times and wall mounted hay racks are available if required.

There is a large 60m x 40m floodlit sand arena which contains a full set of showjumps. 

The arena is normally divided in two which allows people to have room to practice their flat work or their jumping, with out the hassles of having to clear the arena between times. 

This also allows us to have the warm-up and competition areas in one arena at events. 

The floodlit arena is available for hire to individuals as well as to groups and clubs.

(Use of arena, including floodlights, is included in all livery packages.) 

Mill Yard also holds a superb cross country course, designed by renowned course builder Tony McManmon. 

The course has a range of 40 obstacles, from ditches to banks, water complexes to steps, this course has it all for riders to school over with each fence having a variety of heights to suit all levels of horses and riders. 

The cross country course is CURRENTLY CLOSED for hire.
 

Mill Yard now also has a separate lunging/turnout sand paddock as well as a large all weather gravel turnout area and a four horse walker.
