Forge Stables

Husband and wife team, John and Debbie, are pleased to announce the opening of Forge Stables, based in Nottinghamshire. Forge Stables offers DIY, part and full livery to the local equestrian community. Tack /feed store next door.

Forge stables is set in 13 acres of land with spectacular views of the Nottinghamshire country side. We are a quiet, friendly yard aiming to have happy horses with happy owners. We have a yard worming programme which includes use of feacal egg counts in order to avoid unnecessary use of chemicals, coordinate shared visits for the vet, dentist, physio etc. and also have regular visits from a reputable dressage trainer. You are free to bring in your own instructor as well.

The yard is adult friendly.

We offer all year turn out, 24 hour summer grazing, a secure and alarmed tack room, and a lit sand school. The fields can be ridden and jumped in when the weather is good and there is access to fabulous hacking including routes along the river and down the Southwell trail. We are within hacking distance of local riding club shows and also an indoor competition centre.

We have forty years experience of horse ownership and have studied for BHS qualifiations. John is a registred farrier and Debbie has an BSc (Hons) in Equine Science. We both compete(d) at national level and support out daughter to do the same.

The land is fenced with a mixture of post and rail, hedge and posts with electric wire. Turn out can be individual or in small groups.

Straw, hay and haylage can all be purchased on site. The local tack and feed store can meet all other shopping needs and is just a wheelbarrow journey away. There is hard standing for trailer and lorry parking. There is a toilet onsite, tea and coffee making facilities and we are situated close to a bus route.
