Cheshire Retirement Livery has been caring for horses for over 20 years and has become one of the UK's leading equine centres. Set in the beautiful Cheshire countryside Cheshire Retirement Livery is a beautiful place for your horse to call home. Our staff are experts in horse care and all horses receive daily check-ins.
Natural Environment
Cheshire Retirement Livery is set in over 120 acres of quality grazing and we farm an additional 70 acres to produce our own quality haylage. We operate a pasture programme where fields are harrowed, seeded and rolled yearly.
Excellent Care for Older Horses
Our staff are proficient in caring for horses with conditions relating to age including arthritis, cushings, metabolic syndrome and laminitis and often find that horses make sufficient improvement to no longer need medications.
Updates from the yard
We ensure that you receive updates and photographs of your horse and you are welcome to visit any time. We do not operate an appointment system and we are happy to bring in your horse when you visit if required.
Experienced staff
Our staff are horse owners and experts in horse care. We are supported by Ashbrooke Equine Hospital, weekly visits from our farrier and our independent equine nutritionist to help ensure optimum health for our horses.
Equine Barns
Our winter barns provide as natural a lifestyle possible for your horse having the freedom to interact and freedom of movement. The barns are fully cleaned out regularly and frequently refreshed with golden barley straw.
Regular Check ins
Our staff check horses daily, observing and monitoring their condition. All horses have a recorded care plan with details of medical care, feeding regime and dental, farrier and worming information.
Maintained Paddocks
We have paddocks of quality grazing with suitable companions or smaller paddocks available with company for restricted grazing according to requirements. We also have laminitic sand paddocks for zero grazing.
A Choice of Plans
We have a choice of plans available to horse owners but all include expert care, updates, feet picking, grooming and rug changes. All horses are outside during the summer but we offer different packages for winter care.
Companionship
We place horses in herds that best suit their needs. Horses are grouped according to gender, size and grazing requirements. We'll discuss the best option for your horse with you when you join and monitor progress accordingly.
Safety Guaranteed
Safety is of great importance to us so all fields are maintained with stock fence and/or high quality electric tape. The yard owners and some members of staff live on site to provide 24/7 supervision.
