OFF-ROAD RIDING AT STONE CIRCLE LIVERY





One of the great things about running an ‘Organic Livery Yard’ is seeing the countryside around you flourish. At Stone Circle Livery there is plenty of off-road riding available around the headlines and through the woods.

After setting off for a hack today in snow blizzards it is easy to forget how fantastic riding in the summer is. The pictures here show some of the off-road riding at Stone Circle Livery. We keep the tracks well mown so that there is plenty of room for two horses abreast. We also monitor the rabbit hole situation on a daily basis as they can be quite industrious in the early hours of the morning when you are not looking.




When hacking at the highpoint of our land riders are rewarded with an amazing view across to the vale of Tenterden. You look down on to the tree canopy of dense ancient woodland. For those riders that like to get up early, the morning mists are quite stunning. Our land is anything but flat and offers plenty of variety for cantering up hill and galloping across the fields. For those who like a leisurely pace there is the peaceful woodland ride that we created a few years ago. On a hot summers day it offers a cool interlude. In the bad weather it lends a small amount of shelter. Best of all there isn’t a car in sight.
