About us

Find out about us and horse and pony retirement on our family farm in the Surrey countryside.

We have been caring for horses and ponies at grass for many years and believe in keeping them in a natural herd environment at grass, where they have room to roam and graze throughout the changing seasons.

Family Farmers

Set on our delightful family farm, in Cobham Surrey, where our family have been farming for over 50 years, we have many years of experience in caring for horses and ponies at grass in a natural herd environment.

Liz Earl is a BHS Accredited Professional Coach​ who has been riding throughout her life. She has worked with many types of horses, specialising in retired horses and ponies in recent years. She believes in natural horsemanship principles and giving a peaceful home, with forage, friends and freedom for horses and ponies when their working lives are over.

With an interest in sustainable land management practices and keeping horses in an extensive, near-natural way, Liz enjoys caring for them and seeing them flourish in their retirement.

Sustainable management

We are committed to providing a natural way of life for our retired horses and we strive to make their environment more sustainable. We tread lightly on the land by having smaller animals.
