ABOUT OWL HOUSE STABLES
Our Story
Owl House Stables is a true family run business. It was started up by Louise in 1990 with just a few ponies. From there it has grown into a a much bigger venture, with 35 horses and ponies. Even though the yard has grown, we are true to our roots and have a family friendly ethos. We believe in delivering high quality tuition and pride ourselves on our well trained and willing horses. In 2009 after gaining a wealth of experience in the industry, Louise's daughter Rachel became a full time instructor at Owl House and has worked her way up to become a BHSI (stage 5 performance coach) she also enjoys competing in eventing, dressage and showjumping.
LESSONS
At Owl House we cater for all abilities, from beginners to advanced riders. We have a wide variety of horses to suit your needs, from steady plods to competition horses.
We currently have two surfaced arenas: one is 25x50m and the other is 20x40m. During the summer months we also have dressage and showjumping arenas on grass. A fantastic full course of jump4joy showjumps is available, as well as two further sets of jumps. If you would like a cross country lesson, we have a training course which includes ditches, banks and skinnies.
