Liveries & Training
Keep your horse in the heart of the Algarve countryside — or let our experienced team help you train and develop your horse.
Full Livery
We are in a perfect position to offer facilities for you to keep your horse at livery with the highest standard of stable management, lots of room for daily turnout and the best hills and valleys for riding. We guarantee to look after your horse and he/she can either live out or come into a stable at night. All our stabled horses have a daily turn-out of approximately 8 hours in one of our fields or paddocks.
Our livery price includes:
- Horse feed (mix according to your horse's needs, including sugar beet and chaff), as well as hay/haylage, fed twice a day
- Fresh water topped up throughout the day
- Lunch: lucerne cubes (and/or more mix if required)
- If stabled at night: daily muck out and fresh bedding
- Turn out
- Rug changes
- Free guide to show you our many tracks and help you get to know the area
- Medical care if and when required
Not included, but services provided:
- Farrier: Our local farrier Paulo is an expert at his job and will look after your horse's feet.
- Vet service: In the unfortunate event your horse requires veterinary care we have a choice of two fantastic vets who will come out to take care of your horse. We will provide any follow-up care.
- Exercise: If you can't exercise your horse enough we can help! Hacks, schooling, lungeing — please contact us for pricing.
