About Limebrook
A Website full of information for Horse Lovers and Riders Everywhere!
Limebrook Farm Riding School and Livery Yard was established in 1981 and is a family run business.
Most of the staff learned to ride here as children. Many of the customers who learned to ride or honed their riding skills at Limebrook went on to own horses themselves and keep them at livery at the yard. There is a real sense of friendliness and belonging at the yard which is looked on as a home away from home for many.
Fun events are held throughout the year, including treasure hunts, special event days and Christmas and Halloween rides where both horses and riders are in fancy dress. The Christmas Dance is well attended by over 60 customers, livery owners, staff and friends of the stables including the local farrier.
Both children and adults learn to ride with us - often adults start riding when they see how much fun their children are having!
Limebrook has a very supportive atmosphere, and new horse owners get a huge amount of help from the staff on the yard if they ask for it. We do recognise that new horse owners need to learn like we all did, so don't offer advice until approached except in dangerous situations (we did have to intervene on one memorable occassion when a new livery owner put the saddle on backwards!).
As a riding school as well as livery yard we are used to teaching stable management, and have a lot of patience with new horse owners.
You will see from the pages in this section the type of fun we have - we are not sure whether we will repeat the Limebrook Uncovered Calendar experience, but it gave us many laughs, and as it was for charity there were lots of volunteers.
We are approaching our first quarter century in business - quite an accomplishment in this day and age when businesses seem to have a shorter life. Limebrook plans to go from strength to strength, and there are new projects which will start over the coming months. These include getting a horse walker, and a lunging ring.
All new developments and news will be published on this website, so keep an eye open for news!
