We are able to accommodate ponies from 11hh right through to 18hh horses on all our packages, with the exception of competition livery which is solely for horses working towards or competing in British Showjumping senior classes. 

Backing / Breaking in


We understand how paramount it is to the breaking process and the ridden future of the horse that the fundamental steps are done correctly. We also understand how difficult it can be to decide who to trust with your horse/pony’s early years education.
Jade has decades of experience in breaking and producing all kinds of different horses and ponies. 

All horses/ponies are started from the ground up, using sympathetic, clear and patient horsemanship, installing in the horse boundaries, confidence and a willingness to work together with their rider/ handler.  Jade never rushes or over faces the horse with a task that they aren’t ready for.  She ensures they have fully understood each step of their learning before progressing to the next, which helps create a sound horse both in body and mind and that is happy and confident in their bodies and in the work being asked of them. 

Horses and ponies can be produced on to what ever level the owner desires. 

All full board training packages include light airy, dual aspect stables with windows, rubber matting and a full, big straw bed complete with corner hay mangers.  A choice of ad-lib meadow haylage or hay to suit, fully customised feed including Bluechip original, Bluechip Dynamic and non-medical supplements (such as biotin) as required. As well as individual or pair daily turnout. All horses on livery receive outstanding care and are treated as our own; benefiting from a specifically tailored exercise, management and competition programme.

Freelance 

All freelance work can be done at your yard or you are welcome to travel to us.  Jade is able to work with all types of horses and ponies from 11hh upwards. Our yard is in Pulborough on the Surrey / West Sussex border and Jade is able to travel up to a 20 mile radius from here for freelance services. Travel to areas further afield can be arranged on an individual basis.
