Carters Barn Livery

Purpose built family run yard with excellent facilities and outstanding hacking on the doorstep. Offering Flexible Part Livery, Full Livery (5 day and 7 day) and Full Exercising Livery/rehabilitation packages.

We offer very limited livery spaces at our friendly, family run livery yard in Piddlehinton (6 miles from Dorchester, Dorset). We are pleased to accommodate happy hackers, rehabilitation liveries, competition horses and everything in between!

Our 14 box yard is located in a very private but stunning location in the heart of Dorset’s AONB (area of outstanding natural beauty), with direct access onto miles and miles of bridleways. The hacking is incredibly varied with plenty of hillwork and grass canter tracks, perfect for fitness training, as well as woodland and quiet lanes, with no need for any road work if you don’t want to. We are always happy to show our liveries the best routes.

The yard and grounds are maintained to a very high standard and are kept clean, tidy and organised.

We ensure the horses receive the best care and are treated as one of our own, and pride ourselves on getting to know each horse as an individual.

Facilities include:
– 25×50 arena with a variety of training jumps and fillers
– Purpose built lunge pen
– Well draining grass jump/schooling field
– Pair or individual turnout
– Miles of varied off road hacking in the AONB
– Large airy stables with automatic drinkers
– Internal and external cross tie areas for farrier/vet/clipping
– Hot horse shower

– Monthly dressage/flatwork clinics with UKCC Level 3, Inter 1 dressage rider and BD accredited coach Amy Blount

The turnout is secure, well maintained and poo picked regularly. The fields are south facing, gently sloping on well draining chalk soil which allows extensive all year turnout (24/7 turnout when weather permits if wanted). We can offer pair or individual turnout, and have several smaller paddocks for isolation/controlled turnout.

We are in easy reach of a number of BS, BD and BE competition and training venues.

The yard has to be seen to be appreciated, so please get in touch for more info and prices (pm, or text/call Emma on 07712474944)
