Equine farm management questions answered

We run some or all of an equestrian property on the owner’s behalf. That can include the daily yard routine, horse care standards, land and grazing, buildings and fencing, staff and contractors, budgets and paperwork. You decide how much you hand over, from a one-off review to full management.

We work with private estate owners, livery yard owners, studs and breeders, riding and equestrian centres and sport horse yards. We also help farmers and landowners who keep horses or rent land to horse owners.

We are based in Newcastle upon Tyne and cover Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, County Durham, Teesside and North Yorkshire, Cumbria and the Scottish Borders. We can travel further for larger projects. See areas we cover for details.

It depends on the size of the property, the number of horses and how much help you need. We send you a written quote after a first conversation and a site visit, and there is no obligation to go ahead.

Managed packages include a monthly report covering horse welfare, land, repairs, spending, staff and paperwork. We also meet you every few months to review progress.

It depends on the scope and our current workload. Advisory reviews can often start within a few weeks. Ongoing management starts once the proposal is agreed and the handover is planned.

We aim to reply within one working day to arrange a first conversation. If it makes sense, we then visit your property and send you a written proposal.
