Our story

A husband-and-wife yard, built one fence post at a time.

Mary grew up around horses, Pete grew into them. In 2015 they took a quiet corner of Mary's family farmland and turned it into Kings Forest Livery — eleven stables, an American-barn yard, an all-weather arena, mirrors, paddocks and a lunge pen.

Ten years on, it's a full yard with a waiting list, CCTV around the clock, and Mary and Pete living onsite. A peaceful place where horses are properly looked after and everyone feels welcome.

Private Arena Hire

Have the whole arena to yourself, mirrors and all.

Our all-weather arena with a full mirror wall and a small collection of jumps is available to hire from £15 an hour, and we can optionally set up a 20 × 40 dressage arena inside on request — perfect for a focused schooling session, lesson or test practice.
