I've uploaded some photographs taken on Friday by one of our liveries. She sent me a small selection of the many she took and has asked that if you'd like any she took of you and your horse, you can get in touch with her directly.
Either on FB or via email. Big thanks to Marianne Farish for not only taking so many lovely photos for us, but also helping during the evening and the big tidy up at the end.

Prizes for the Val Main Showing Clinic on 7th April 😊
PM Val to reserve your place before they're all gone!

Equine Influenza Policy
In view of the recent outbreaks in England and Scotland we would like to inform all visitors that we will be putting in place spot checks on horse passports for those attending events at our yard.
We will be reminding clients that we need up to date Equine Flu Vaccinations at time of booking for events, clinics, arena hire etc. We will also be checking before unloading horses on to our yard.
... In addition, we will be advising all outside bookings/hires/visiting instructors of the need to comply with this policy. If you do not comply you will not be allowed to unload and will be asked to leave the premises.
This policy will come into effect immediately and will be reviewed regularly to ensure it is in line with veterinary recommendations.
Many thanks

I have my horses on DIY Livery here and the facilities are great. The staff are friendly and they work tirelessly to maintain the yard. Would have no hesitation in recommending this yard.

I have hired the school once before, and the people are very welcoming and friendly people x

Everyone is so friendly and the facilities are amazing!
