Looking for Livery? Ten reasons to join #teamdunbyrnestud

Are you looking for livery? Here are ten reasons to join #teamdunbyrnestud on livery today :

1. We offer huge courtyard stables with deep warm shavings beds providing the ultimate comfort for your horse

2. We supply top quality haylage and feed twice a day as part of our full stabled livery package

3. Horses are turned out daily in individual paddocks with secure fencing. Horses are still relaxed as they can see other horses beside them and this turnout is much safer than group turnout especially when horses and ponies are wearing a full set of shoes.

4. Our yard owners live onsite so our opening hours are flexible. We never restrict our liveries with set hours so if you need to head off early morning somewhere or are running late from work there is no need to worry.

5. We have a huge livery arena (this is dedicated to liveries and is entirely separate from the onsite riding school). The size of our arena allows liveries to ride when our coaches are running lessons so there is no need to plan your riding around someone else’s lessons or arena bookings.

6. BHS and HSI qualified coaches onsite providing training at competitive rates

7. We are less than thirty minutes from JAG / Redhills / Greenogue / Emerald and just ten minutes from Coilog so Leinster competition venues are close by.

8. We have a heated rug room with storage for liveries. This is ideal on cold or damp days as you can hang up your rug while you ride so its nice and warm when it goes back on your horse.

9. We have a 4.5 furlong all weather sand gallops which is exclusively for our liveries to use. This leads on to our onsite wooded hacking trails and is ideal for hacking, fittening work, eventing preparation or even just a break from the arena.

10. We are lucky to have a lovely bunch of existing clients who are positive and enthusiastic. We enjoy taking part as a group in competing on and offsite and in social activities. Our liveries take part in a wealth of disciplines from eventing to dressage.

Dunbyrne Livery Equitation Jumping Results

Last week we ran our first in house online competition at our family run livery yard in Co. Kildare. Our liveries train with our onsite BHS and HSI qualified coaches and have been doing fantastic work in their lessons so we wanted to give them a chance to showcase their riding.

Our liveries videoed themselves riding a course of 11 jumping obstacles and submitted their entries. This competition was kindly judged by Christa Dillon, owner of equestrian blog Blackhill eventing and one of the hosts of Buck off banter podcast. Christa’s feedback on our riders was fantastic - “These are not average riders and this is not an average standard. They are all jumping so well, giving the horse every chance, riding under control, using the arena and correcting issues quickly. This shows an advanced thought process behind the riding and shows great maturity in the younger riders”

We as coaches were very proud of our riders - we believe in coaching using the FEI systems for flatwork and show jumping and are delighted to see our #teamdunbyrnestud members progressing.

We divided our riders into three categories and the results are below- We have lots of Easter eggs and Horselyx for our humans and horses to enjoy as prizes
