Bonnie the horse

The Bonnie View Story

Bonnie View Retirement Livery was established in 2012 and is named after our old family pony Bonnie; and of course our amazing views. After her retirement, her needs had changed; she required extra care and monitoring to ensure that she remained both happy and healthy. Our professional team are experienced at dealing with conditions that are often related to the older equine, and our yard is small enough to ensure that each horse is cared for like our own and treated as an individual.

We are very lucky to live in a place of such outstanding natural beauty and welcome both you and your horse to share this with us. Our owners often ask if they can retire here too!

Stabling

We have a range of stables including well ventilated outdoor, indoor and crew barn options. Our horses are stabled on an evening in winter months and are given ad lib forage to see them through the night. All of our stables have deep, comfy beds so that your horses comfort is maximised. Each horse has an allocated stable which is available to them throughout the whole year. This means that management can be tailored to each individual horse, and enables us to bring them in during the summer if the weather is bad.

Grazing

We turn out our horses in small groups; no larger than 5 in tailored grazing fields. This ensures that we can monitor group dynamics, enabling us to prioritise safety; making it easier for owners to bring in their own horses or spend time with them in the field. We use over 100 acres of fields, offering a range of smaller paddocks for those that need a more restricted diet, to huge fields where they are free to roam. Our tailored grazing plan ensures the horses have the companionship of others that are of a similar age, temperament or condition.
