About the yard
Burley Villa is a family-run riding school and livery yard on Bashley Common Road, New Milton, inside the New Forest National Park. It has been running for over 50 years and offers forest access without riding on the road.
The main Gold livery package is full care: stabling at night in winter, daily turnout, hay, feed and shavings bedding, mucking out and grooming, with staff attending farrier and vet visits. Owners also have arena use, subject to lesson priority. A separate DIY option is offered at the Valesmoor site, with stabling and grass turnout and use of a floodlit all-weather menage.
DIY livery at Valesmoor is by arrangement only. Gold livery prices are for horses up to 15.2hh, with larger horses quoted on enquiry.
