At Equine Retirement Livery, we understand that retirement isn’t the end of the journey, it’s the beginning of a new, more peaceful chapter.
Whether your horse is stepping down after years of loyal service or simply needs a break to rest and recover, we offer expert, compassionate care across two purpose-built sites:
Glebe Farm in Hertfordshire and Moor Farm in Bedfordshire.
Why Choose Equine Horse Retirement Livery?
Our retirement and rest livery services are designed specifically for horses no longer in work, with a strong focus on daily, hands-on care and well-managed environments. Each farm offers a slightly different setup to suit individual horse personalities and needs, ensuring that every horse in our care receives the right level of support, attention, and freedom.
Glebe Farm: Quiet, Comfortable, and Calm
Located in the Hertfordshire countryside, Glebe Farm is perfect for older horses or those who thrive in a slower, more stable setting. Smaller herds and a peaceful atmosphere help reduce stress, while static field shelters, mature hedgerows, and natural shade provide a comfortable, protective environment.
This site is particularly well-suited to horses that benefit from close monitoring and a gentle pace.
Our structured daily routine ensures that horses are well-fed, groomed, and regularly health-checked while still enjoying their freedom and space.
Moor Farm: Space, Socialisation, and Natural Movement
Just a 20-minute drive away in Bedfordshire, Moor Farm is ideal for more active, sociable horses who enjoy herd interaction and open space. Horses here live in larger herds with access to 40 acres of pasture, promoting healthy movement and natural behaviours.
Our fully bedded Dutch barns stay open 24/7, so horses can shelter at will, offering the perfect balance of freedom and comfort.
The farmhouse overlooks the fields and barns, meaning someone is always nearby to keep an eye on the horses, adding another layer of reassurance for owners.
Thoughtful, Professional Horse Care, Every Day
Across both sites, our livery is structured, calm, and consistent. We manage tailored feeding plans, pasture rotation, daily health checks, and routine maintenance to keep each horse happy, healthy, and secure. Our team brings years of experience and a genuine love for horses, treating each one as if it were our own.
Whether your horse is recovering from injury or enjoying a well-earned retirement, we believe they deserve a setting that supports both body and mind.
