About the yard
Lower Dale Farm is a full livery yard on Dale Road in Marple, Stockport,. Horses are stabled in two American-style barns, each stable with its own lockable tack room and automatic water.
Horses on full livery are turned out every day all year, on around 100 acres of grazing, and the yard offers overnight turnout in summer. The arenas are a floodlit all-weather manege with dressage mirrors, and an all-weather combie-grass express eventing arena with a full set of show jumps and cross-country obstacles. A five-station horse walker, a hot shower, a solarium and a lunge pen are on site.
