SO YOU WANT TO RUN AN ORGANIC LIVERY YARD?

At Stone Circle Livery we get many emails, phone calls and letters from Livery Yard Owners, Riding Schools, Farms and Interested Individuals that want to discover more about running or opening an Organic Livery Yard. We have an international following with requests for information and general well-wishers for success from Germany, Italy, France, Belgium, North and South America, South Africa, Norway, Finland, Belgium and Scotland. We welcome this as education is part of our business philosophy.
