Writtle DIY Livery Option
Writtle College offers some student livery stabling but the number of available stables is limited and is
done as a first-come-first-served basis. There are many advantages to being a student livery as the local
area offers good off-road hacking and local competition yards within a 30 minute drive. Many students
have successfully competed whilst maintaining their studies and with prior agreement, it is possible to also
continue your training at the College using your own coach.
Student with livery horses are sometime invited to partake in trials and research using their horses thus
giving them the opportunity to take advantage of investigative technologies such as tech-scan and ontrack.
Student livery package includes:
· Stable 12 x 9’8”
Limited turnout (subject to weather and ground conditions) on a rota basis.
There will be no individual turnout due to space restrictions
Access to equestrian facilities during specified times. This is at the discretion of the Equine
resource manager. Please note that all College lessons/teaching will have priority.
· Use of a Horsewalker – at the discretion of the Yard Co-ordinator
· Straw bedding
· Hay – haynets to be supplied by students
· Storage – limited and in agreement with the Yard Co-ordinator

£8.50 per day for use of all facilities, hay and straw.

External Livery Option
If the Writtle DIY option is either full or not suited to you, there are options within the local
area for students to consider. Local Livery Yards are run on a private basis, therefore
please contact these directly.
Please see click here for local livery options.
Please note that this will be a private arrangement directly between yourself
and the local livery yard, where the price will also need to be agreed. These
yards have NOT been inspected by the College, so you are advised to visit the
yards yourself so that you are satisfied with the facilities and arrangements
before you book/reserve a stable.
