Luxury Boutique Livery

Nestled in a beautiful Cotswold valley between Cirencester and Cheltenham, Butlers Hill Farm is a small deluxe livery yard combining fantastic facilities with a bespoke and friendly service. 
 
Joe Chapman has been involved with horses all her life and has kept many horses on livery; it is this experience that led her to create her ‘dream’ livery yard. 
 
From the large individual equipment storage areas to the rug dyers and hot water in the washdown area, every detail has been carefully considered.

what's included?

Full service 

Our full livery package includes unlimited use of our facilities, bedding, hay, and of course, the day-to-day care of your equine friend. 
 
As part of our service, we will book your horse in with your preferred farrier and attend their appointment, and we can organise any vet visits required. We also manage the yard's worming schedule to keep all horses in optimum health. 
 
As we live on-site there is always someone around, meaning that morning and evening checks are part of the service provided. If you wish your horse to be hacked, schooled or lunged, this can also be arranged at an additional cost. 
 
As we only have 11 stables, it means that the facilities are available to just a few people and our staff have the time to truly make the service as individual as your horse. 

Stabling

Your horse will have a large airy stable with a deep bed, ad-lib hay, and will be fully attended to 7 days a week - with the yard owner living on-site.
