Why We Are Different

 Located in a quiet area, within Muldersdrift and offering 21 acres of horse haven, our grounds include tranquil paddocks, a large, tree'd jumping arena, a 20m x 60m dressage arena as well as a lunging arena. 

Own instructors are welcome with no levies charged.  We have horses and riders who go to shows and training shows, people who ride just for fun and we have retired horses. Boxing can be done by arrangement. 

Our clients may use their own professional, preferred farrier, instructor, dentist, vet or physio. 

We only close our yard on the following dates: 25, 26 December and 01 January. We abide by Covid related regulations, and will close if forced.

Lynne Meyer Client

The absolute best yard in the world. Truly is a happy home! Kim goes the extra mile for our horses and she is knowledgeable about every single aspect of their care. The people at the yard are also all lovely and easy to talk to! The grooms are so good and kind to the horses as well! Most definitely the best choice I ever made for my horse and I! Definitely a 5 star stable yard!
