Livery
The Equine Centre situated at Moreton Morrell College provides stabling for up to 68 horses, including a student DIY livery yard, the main college yard, Farriery Centre, Equine Therapy and Rehabilitation Centre, horse walker and three riding arenas.
There are 24 stables available for student livery on a self-contained American barn-style yard, complete with its own tack room, feed and tool store, and hay/haylage storage area.
More information on our equine facilities can be found here.
DIY Livery fees include:
- Stable hire
- Full bed on arrival
- One bale of shavings per week
- Unlimited hay or haylage
- Unlimited Dengie chaff
- Group turnout when available plus access of up to three sand turnout pens available year-round
- Use of the facilities when not in use.
All liveries are included on the College targeted worming programme and these costs are covered within the total fees. Students must provide their own mucking out tools, wheelbarrows, buckets etc.
All stables must be vacated during the Christmas period however, students 18 years and over are able to request to keep their horse on-site during the Easter period.
There are many benefits to becoming a livery at Moreton Morrell College. These include:
Discounted veterinary visits
The College uses Avonvale Veterinary Surgeons and they are in attendance on a weekly zone day. They offer discounts for students who register their horses with them and no call-out fee is charged if a visit is booked on this weekly zone day. Students are responsible for all payment of veterinary visits.
Free Veterinary Physiotherapy treatments
A free onsite clinic offered by 3rd Year Veterinary Physiotherapists, run under the supervision of qualified Physiotherapists, is available by appointment.
Extensive range of regular competitions and events
Equestrian competitions and demonstrations take place at Moreton Morrell College all year round and liveries are actively encouraged to take part in them. There are unaffiliated and British Dressage competitions held monthly as well as Riding Club Team events for both dressage and show jumping. Clear Round show jumping is held once a month usually on a Thursday evening. We are host to the Moreton Morrell BE Horse Trials in May and September.
