For the benefit of the horses we have a peaceful set routine; this is valued highly by those who stay at Bentley House Stables. We do of course accommodate individual horse and rider needs. For example, we may adjust the availability of grazing depending on the horse’s workload and bulking tendencies. Similarly we would not leave horses out for long periods of time in wind and rain. Above all we aim to structure the horses’ routines so that they are as relaxed, happy and natural as is possible. Upon arrival new horses are wormed immediately with our current routine wormer. Newcomers are always introduced carefully and considerately by turning out into an introduction paddock until settled.

Although all yards probably have similar aims, we know that these objectives can truly only be achieved on a small high quality yard with consistent and competent handling. Unlike other livery yards all of our extended team are experienced and qualified professionals in their fields.
