Packages from Assisted Livery up to Competition Livery and everything in between.

First and foremost we have a dedicated, friendly team of grooms where nothing is too much trouble.

We have excellent horse and rider facilities with the added bonus of competitions running on site.

But most importantly Elms is a community where everyone encourages, laughs and supports each other.

Good to get everyone together last night for our Summer BBQ and rounders match. Sometimes it’s really nice to do stuff without horses.

Special thanks to Tipple 🐶 for making sure everyone was doing it properly and of course the guys at Bridle and Bean for the fab food

So very lucky to have this, anyone on livery here can use all arenas with no need to book

Our 22x45m indoor arena has a had a fresh load of water and a quick level today.

It is an absolute godsend in the winter as let’s face it which arenas don’t freeze.

Through the summer months it still provides a safe 4 walls and somewhere to ride in the shade.

It is available to book at www.elmsfarmec.com

As well as an encouraging and supportive atmosphere did you know everyone on livery at Elms benefits from half price competition entries?

Whatever your discipline, affiliated or unaffiliated, there is something for everyone

Well done to everyone competing today. Some really lovely horses.

I hope everyone got qualifying scores who needed them. Talk about cutting it fine😅, although I think the weather has had a lot to do with that !

Thanks to our judges

Not content with 3 outdoor arenas and 1 indoor, we’ve now built a grass arena for the summer months.

We are planning to have a mix of working hunter, showjumps and a dressage arena for everyone to use

❗️IMPORTANT UPDATE ❗️

As many of you may already know, the Riding Academy will be ceasing trade as of 21st March. This has not been a decision made lightly.

We have always run our riding school with strong morals, ethics, and horse welfare at the heart of everything we do. One of the main reasons for this decision is that several of our horses and ponies are now due to retire from school life—some of whom have been with us since the very beginning. Sadly, there simply isn’t enough funding available to replace them.

We would like to say a heartfelt thank you to all of our wonderful customers and clients for your continued support over the years.

I would also personally like to thank our staff and grooms, and our instructors Helen and Michelle, for their tireless work, exceptional coaching, and unwavering dedication.

While the riding school will be closing, the Academy will continue to provide lessons for riders with their own horses and ponies, with some exciting events to be announced very soon.
