Ford Farm Stables is situated on the outskirts of Brockenhurst in the heart of the New Forest. Riding from Ford Farm Stables is totally off road over thousands of acres of open heathland and woodland. Ride through the unspoilt countryside and enjoy the wildlife and see the ponies and cattle grazing. We are ten minutes walk from the local mainline railway station with regular service to Southampton, Bournemouth and London Waterloo. Click here for a map or here for an aerial photo.

  Livery Charges exempt from VAT.

In the summer, for ponies at grass, it is not normally necessary to offer supplementary feed. In the winter they are fed ad lib big bale forage (included in the fixed price). If owners wish to feed concentrates, we ask them to do this outside the field. Ponies are usually in groups of 8 – 12.

Half livery is another option we offer. The horses are mainly kept in at night during the winter and by day during the summer. Some horses need to be in at night all year. We muck out, feed, hay and turnout your horse and you just need to groom and ride it.

Full livery. We still have a number of full liveries for the busy owner. We have your horse ready to ride when you arrive and we look after everything when you return.

We can also transport your horse to local meets, shows etc. General collection and delivery also arranged.

Plaiting, Clipping and Trimming by arrangement except for Full Liveries where it is all included in the price if required.
