LIVERY & SCHOOLING

Proud Winners of HorseScotland Equestrian Business of The Year
& Performance Coach of The Year 2023

Whether you’re looking for short-term schooling, long-term livery or rehabilitation support, Strathearn Eventing provides a bespoke service tailored to the individual needs of both horse and rider. Every horse is managed on a one-to-one basis, with personalised programmes designed to support everything from competition preparation and improving performance to rehabilitation, confidence building or simply enjoying your horse to the fullest.

Our family-run yard offers outstanding facilities in a safe and supportive environment. The upper yard features 15 spacious stables, across two stable blocks centred around the tack room and floodlit 40m x 40m all-weather arena. All stables are generously proportioned, fitted with rubber matting and are predominantly bedded on shavings. Surrounding the yard are more than 30 acres of post-and-rail paddocks, providing excellent grazing and turnout opportunities.

The knowledge and experience of our team are at the heart of everything we do. Sarah Houlden brings extensive practical experience in coaching and schooling horses and ponies across dressage, show jumping and cross-country, helping riders of all ages and abilities achieve their goals. Alongside Sarah, Hazel England (Sarah's mum) has spent a lifetime producing horses and ponies, developing an exceptional understanding of bloodlines, conformation, equine husbandry and the care and rehabilitation of horses following injury or illness. Together, their expertise provides owners with the reassurance that every horse receives the highest standard of care and attention.

Every programme is tailored to suit the individual horse and owner. Horses can be exercised by Sarah and the team at Strathearn Eventing, or owners are welcome to ride using the extensive on-site facilities, including the all-weather arena, cross-country course, show jumping course, grass dressage arena, and off-road hacking, or make use of the horse walker and lunge pen.

We cater for horses at every stage of their development, from bringing an unfit horse back into work and preparing combinations for competition, to supporting rehabilitation after injury, maintaining fitness during the school term so children can compete at weekends, or simply improving a horse’s way of going. We are also happy to provide advice on all aspects of horse management, competition planning and rider development, with coaching available to help owners continue progressing alongside their horse.

For those who simply want to enjoy their horse in a friendly and supportive setting, our family-run yard offers a welcoming atmosphere, excellent facilities and the flexibility to make the most of your riding throughout the year.
