Livery & Loan
Livery & Loan
Pupils looking for a more immersive equestrian experience can choose from several livery or loan options.
Livery
Pupils from Year 7 upwards can bring their pony or horse to school. Stonar believes in ensuring that they learn to take responsibility for their steed, with our expert team on hand to guide, as they learn essential stable management skills. Pupils come to the yard before breakfast and return after school each day to take care of their pony or horse.
To complete the next steps to request a stable reservation please complete the livery application form and contact the Riding Office. Due to high levels of demand, we recommend that enquiries regarding livery are made early in the Admissions process in order to determine if a suitable stable is available. Payment of the livery deposit is required in order to secure the stable. We cannot accept stallions for livery.
Loan
It is also possible for riders staying at Stonar to loan one of Stonar’s horses or ponies. The pupil is then responsible for the complete care, including feeding and mucking out morning and evenings. These tasks will be supervised as necessary. The pupil can ride the horse daily (excluding one day of rest) and compete in the Stonar Accumulator competitions. They may also be able to compete in external competitions at the West Wilts Equestrian Centre.
The horse/pony will be provided with tack and equipment. Shoeing, vaccinations, vet’s fee and worming costs will be covered by Stonar.
A waiting list operates and to ensure a horse or pony is available, applying early is advisable. Permanent and 1 year applicants will be prioritised. If there is availability, then pupils staying for two terms may be able to loan a horse.
One of the best things about Stonar is that my pony can come with me too! The staff in the Equestrian Centre are always so helpful and friendly, I know I can always ask for their support if I need it."
