At West Sussex Livery are carefully selected and well-trained, making them suitable for all levels of riders. The livery yard is located in Barns Green, near Horsham, and offers a range of services including a junior and senior riding club, eventing, show jumping, hunter hirelings, and a horse and pony share scheme.

The facilities at West Sussex Livery are top-notch, with fantastic 5-star amenities. The indoor Loddon/traditional boxes provide comfortable accommodations for the horses, and there is also a 5-bay horse walker for exercise. The 65m × 30m school features an excellent rubber sand and fibre surface, ensuring optimal footing for training sessions. In addition, there is an indoor hot/cold wash box for grooming and care.

The livery yard boasts beautiful post and rail paddocks, some of which include field shelters for additional protection from the elements.

Anne Hawes, the owner of West Sussex Livery, comes from a local farming family and has a lifelong love and understanding of horses. With years of experience and a practical, sympathetic, and holistic approach, Anne is dedicated to helping horses, sharers, and owners fulfil their potential. The yard prides itself on being friendly and social, with a supportive community of sharers, owners, and staff who are always willing to lend a helping hand or offer a friendly chat.

West Sussex Livery offers a range of livery options, including competition, full, and part liveries. They also provide stud services, with the well-regarded Kilmurray Bay Mirah, a dun Connemara performance stallion, available for breeding. The horse and pony share/leasing scheme is particularly popular, providing an opportunity for riders to have access to a horse or pony without the full responsibilities of ownership. Unfortunately, DIY or assisted liveries are not available.

The livery yard also offers various additional services, such as horse and pony sales, rehabilitation programmes, and guidance for owners with problem horses. There is a detailed price list available, with options for full livery and horse and pony share/leasing.

To ensure the health and well-being of the horses, West Sussex Livery provides shared cost options for services such as shoes, worming, clipping and trimming, and osteopath treatments. Yearly rug wash and flu and tetanus jab services are also available. The yard management is dedicated to the welfare of the horses, and they work closely with a reliable farrier, L Gordon, for any necessary hoof care.

Interested individuals can contact Anne Hawes at West Sussex Livery for more information on the services offered and to discuss their specific requirements. Whether you are a competitive rider, leisure rider, or looking for a learning experience, West Sussex Livery aims to provide a professional, supportive, and enjoyable environment for both horse and rider.
