Don't just take it from us - here's what our customers have to say!
"My horse Dom joined Brooksby in working livery in October 2024. It has been such a positive experience for Dom and me. He participates in a well balanced, full range of activities and has become a fitter and better schooled horse. His stabling and turnout is well managed, always clean and safe.
Horse welfare is clearly a priority for Sally & her team who keep me well informed. I am able to ride him anytime time students are not on campus with staff available for support & advice if needed. Highly recommend!" - Eileen, Ower of Working Livery Resident, Dom
