The Yard
Where Practical Meets Pony Magic!
At Little Nags Stables, we know that owning a horse is one of life’s greatest joys—but it shouldn’t feel like a chore. That’s why we’ve created a livery yard that feels like a second home—a place where you can truly relax, enjoy your horse, and be part of a friendly, supportive community.
We’ve spent years searching for a yard that balances great facilities with a fun, welcoming atmosphere—somewhere that isn’t intimidating, overly competitive, or, let’s be honest, falling apart at the seams! When we couldn’t find that perfect middle ground, we decided to create it ourselves.
Here at Little Nags, you’ll find everything you need to make horse ownership easy and enjoyable. Whether you’re an early-morning hacker, a weekend plodder, or a schooling enthusiast, we’ve designed our facilities to fit around your lifestyle—because we know that most horse owners are balancing work, family, and everything in between.
With on-site owners, all-year turnout, cosy stabling, and even hot water on tap, we’ve thought of the little things that make a big difference—so you can focus on what really matters: spending quality time with your horse, without the stress.
