Self-catering holiday accommodation with stables for horses
Discover our collection of self-catering holiday homes with on-site stabling for holidays with your horse or ponies, and discover some of Britain’s best areas for riding holidays with horses.
Why Book a Holiday Home with Onsite Stabling?
If you own a horse, then your equine friend may be your pride and joy, and leaving them at home whilst you escape on holiday may not be an option, particularly if you are used to mucking out, feeding and riding your horse day to day. Naturally we want to take all members of our families on holiday and it's quite common for people to take their dogs and occasionally other pets such as horses. Horse owners need holidays too of course, so this is where holiday homes with stables come in so you can take your horse on holiday.
What Sort of Facilities to Expect at a Holiday Home with Stabling for Horses?
Holiday homes with stabling facilities in the UK tend to be found at farms or rural properties in the great British countryside. Facilities vary from property to property. Some holiday homes offer full livery and fully take care of your horse so you can just ride, whereas others offer part livery and others offer DIY livery where you will need to feed your horse, turn it out to the field, muck it out, sort its bedding, and do the grooming.
There are grazing pastures at some, riding schools and turnout paddocks at others, and most offer horsebox and horse trailer parking, hay and feed by arrangement. Some are located next to or close to good bridleways, horse trails, tranquil country lanes and good horse riding country.
Best UK Destinations for Holidays with your Horse
The UK is rich in bridleways for great rides and exploring the countryside on horseback. Some of the best areas for bridle paths include the New Forest, the Lake District, Exmoor, Dartmoor, the Yorkshire Dales with the Pennine Bridleway, the Cotswolds, the Forest of Dean, the South Downs and the Brecon Beacons.
