Fancy running your own livery yard? Here’s one with 36 stables, two arenas and 38 acres
You could make your horsey business dreams a reality at Southmoor Farm — a livery yard with a six-bed farmhouse in County Durham, which has just come on the market.
Placed on the aptly named Racecourse Road just outside Sedgefield village, Southmoor is a North East nest located 11 miles from Stockton-On-Tees and 15 miles from Durham.
Equestrian centres in the area include: Ivesley EC (21 miles), West Park EC (19 miles) and Seagold Centurion EC (15 miles).
Head towards Middlesbrough and you have the option of competing at Upsall Grange EC (23 miles) or Stainsby Grange EC (16 miles).
You can brush up on your cross-country technique over the fabulous course available at Waterford EC (22 miles).
If you like to hunt,heading out with either the Braes Of Derwent or the South Durham could satisfy your needs.
Or if showing is the sport for you, sign up to BSPS Area 1A for your choice of local fixtures.
