The view from Hinchelsea towards Brockenhurst & the stables

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

LIVERIES

Grass Livery £32.50 per week to include ad lib forage in winter.
DIY Livery from £37.50 per week plus hay supplement of £7 per week.
Half Liveries from £120.00 per week.
Full Liveries from £170.00 per week.

Other rates by arrangement.
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.

HOLIDAY LIVERIES

We can offer short term livery for your horse either stabled or at grass during the summer. Our rates start from £5 per night at grass and for stabled horses £15 for the first night and £10 for subsequent nights to include bedding. We can also muck out for you for £5 extra per day.

FACILITIES

Our popular all weather arena and horsewalker are both available for use by clients and others. Ideal for veterinary referrals, recuperating animals and as an aid to maintaining fitness especially during the winter months.

HORSE WALKER

Ideal for resting & recuperating horses & ponies. Veterinary referrals welcome

ALL WEATHER ARENA

INDOOR SCHOOL

New Indoor School with internal stabling. 40 metres x 20 metres Martin Collins Ecotrack Surface.

This is a joint project with Brockenhurst Group RDA and has been supported under the England Rural Development Programme by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund

NEW FOREST PONIES

Usually a good selection from the Brock and Trenley prize winning herds. Foals available from quality mares to make excellent riding ponies at very reasonable prices. Ponies bred from the Brock herd have captured the forest bred Championship at all three major local shows this summer as well as the Overall Supreme at the Breed Show.

POINT TO POINTERS

Following our outstanding season last year when we had almost 50% of our runners finish in the first two, we have one or point to point livery vacancies available for the new season. Terms and details available on request.

HORSES AND PONIES FOR SALE

We often have genuine horses and ponies for sale and are able to find suitable animals for livery clients.
