The Livery Offer

A structured yard built around calm standards.

Livery at HRB is built around one clear principle: every horse should have a plan. That plan covers daily care, stable routine, turnout, feed, workload, recovery, training focus and owner communication.

Based in Shenley, Hertfordshire, HRB provides full livery, training livery and competition support for owners who want more than a place to keep their horse. The yard is run as a structured environment, where welfare, progress and calm standards sit together.

For some horses, the priority is consistent care and a settled routine. For others, it is professional schooling, improved rideability, greater confidence, production or preparation for competition. HRB’s training livery route brings professional riding, full daily care and clear owner communication into one individual programme, built around the horse in front of us.

HRB works with owners across Hertfordshire and North London, as well as owners further afield who want their horse based within a structured professional programme.

Owners looking for a local development route can also explore training livery in Hertfordshire, while riders who want a more joined-up performance environment may find our showjumping yard in Hertfordshire and coaching pages useful.

What this means for you

You stay informed and aligned with the programme, without needing to be at the yard every day.

Training Livery in Practice

Joined HRB at six. Competing internationally at 1.35m at seven.

Unikat's progress was not built around one result. It came from consistent daily work, with rideability, confidence, technique, workload and recovery managed as one connected programme.

That is the role of Training Livery at HRB. Professional riding sits inside the horse's full care and management, with clear owner communication and a plan that develops as the horse does.

An HRB Livery Client Benefit

Saddlery support built into the wider programme.

Through HRB's partnership with Devoucoux, new and existing livery clients can access specialist saddle, leatherwork and tack support with the people who know their horse's daily work contributing valuable context.

Saddle & Leatherwork Partner

Devoucoux x HRB Equestrian

The HRB Difference

Your saddle is not treated as a separate purchase.

A horse's shape, strength, balance and way of going can change as its training develops. At HRB, saddle and tack decisions can be considered alongside the horse's care, workload and ridden programme.

Tia and Dan contribute the horse-specific knowledge built through daily management and professional riding. Devoucoux contributes the specialist saddlery expertise. The result is a better-informed conversation around the complete horse-and-rider combination.

Specialist saddlery expertise, informed by the people who know the horse in work.

What This Opens Up

Practical support for the complete horse-and-rider combination.

Saddle fitting & selection

Saddle fitting & selection

HRB can connect clients directly with the Devoucoux team for specialist saddle advice, trials and fitting support around the individual horse and rider.

Leatherwork & tack

Leatherwork & tack

Clients can access informed support when considering new saddles, bridles and leatherwork, with equipment choices viewed as part of the horse's wider management.

Context from inside the yard

Context from inside the yard

Tia and Dan can contribute what they know from the horse's daily work, current training focus, feel under saddle and stage of development.

Support as the horse develops

Support as the horse develops

As condition, strength, balance and way of going change, saddlery needs can be reconsidered with the horse's current programme in view.

Partnership in Practice

One connected process.

HRB does not replace the specialist saddle fitter. It makes sure the fitting conversation can start with better knowledge of the individual horse and remain connected to its ongoing programme.

  1. 01

    The need is identified

    The owner raises a concern or HRB notices that a saddle or item of tack may need further specialist attention.

  2. 02

    HRB brings the context

    Tia and Dan can share relevant observations from the horse's routine, ridden work, workload and development.

  3. 03

    Devoucoux brings the expertise

    The Devoucoux team provides the specialist saddlery advice, trial and fitting process for the horse-and-rider combination.

  4. 04

    The decision returns to the programme

    HRB can help the owner consider the outcome within the horse's normal ridden work and wider development plan.

More Than Livery

A closer level of support around your horse.

This partnership is one more way HRB connects care, training, equipment and horse development around the individual horse. It gives clients a direct route to Devoucoux's specialist team without separating saddlery decisions from what is happening in the yard.

Livery Questions

Questions before choosing a livery route.

These answers are designed to help owners understand whether full livery, training livery or competition support is the right fit before making an enquiry.

How do I know which livery route is right for my horse?

The right route depends on your horse’s current needs, workload, temperament and your goals as an owner. Full livery is suited to owners who want consistent daily care and management. Training livery is better for horses that need structured schooling or development. Competition and production support is for horses and riders working towards shows, sales preparation or a more active performance plan.

What is the difference between full livery and training livery at HRB?

Full livery focuses on daily care, stable management, turnout, feed, welfare checks and owner communication. Training livery includes that foundation, with professional riding and a structured development programme added around the individual horse. For more detail, see our training livery in Hertfordshire page.

Does HRB offer competition support as part of livery?

Yes. For suitable horses and riders, HRB can support competition planning, workload management, schooling, preparation and recovery. This route connects closely with the wider showjumping yard in Hertfordshire, as well as HRB’s competition results and horse development work.

Can rider coaching be included alongside livery?

Yes. Rider coaching can be included where it supports the horse and rider combination. Tia’s psychology-led coaching approach helps riders build confidence, consistency and better decision-making under pressure. You can also explore HRB’s dedicated showjumping coaching and equestrian sports psychology pages.

What happens after I enquire about livery?

After you enquire, HRB will ask about your horse, your current routine, your goals and the level of support you are looking for. From there, the team can advise whether full livery, training livery or competition support is the right next step, and whether there is suitable availability on the yard.

How much does livery at HRB cost?

HRB offers different livery routes depending on the level of care, training and support required. Full Livery starts from £1,000 per month for courtyard stables and from £1,250 per month for indoor barn stables, with additional services available depending on the individual horse and owner requirements. Training Livery starts from £425 per week and includes stable accommodation, full daily care and the horse’s individual training programme. Stable allocation for Training Livery is managed by HRB according to the horse, programme and available space, so there is no separate stable charge added to the weekly Training Livery fee.
