HMN Sporthorses

HMN Sporthorses is a private professional yard near Berkeley in Glos, offering full, training, sale and competition livery (no DIY), lessons and training.

This is a small yard of 8 horses, which enables completely individual care and attention – this is a family run yard and your horse will be looked after by Holly herself. The yard has a lovely friendly and relaxed atmosphere, everyone cheerleads each other and it feels very much like a family. This is an ideal place if you enjoy being part of a close knit yard and as a result places don’t come up very often.

Due to our grazing and being able to rest and rotate fields, we pride ourselves on being able to turnout all year round, even in the wettest winters we can turn out regularly. We have concrete walkways to the winter fields and hayhutches on concrete areas within the fields so the horses can stand on dry ground and eat clean hay. The horses are turned out overnight and stabled during the day, all year round. The yard works perfectly for someone who can ride during the daytime while the horses are stabled, however this isn’t essential if you ride in the evening after work and that works for you.

Holly is available for riding and teaching of all riders and horses. She is an ambitious and successful Inter1 dressage rider and eventer who trains with Gareth Hughes and has particular experience working with ‘challenging’ horses, ex-racehorses and breaking in youngsters, always using a calm, kind and sympathetic approach without gadgets or short-cuts. She teaches a variety of riders including children and event riders, with pupils qualifying and winning at Para Championships, ROR Championships, Area Festival Championships and Badminton Grassroots Championships. She is equally happy helping novice riders gain confidence and bond with their horse. Holly has experience and success working with Para riders, something she really enjoys. It is a disabled-friendly yard and any para riders are more than welcome to enquire.
