About the yard
Moreton Stables is a livery yard beside Moreton Equestrian Centre, a few miles from Dorchester. It takes full, part, DIY and schooling livery. The 2026 price list runs from £112 a week for DIY to £249 a week for full exercising livery.
Stables are large boxes with rubber mats and automatic drinkers in a modern yard. There is a floodlit all-weather arena of 65 by 45 metres with practice jumps, a second arena of 80 by 65 metres with a fibre track that is usually set up for flatwork, a covered horse walker, a solarium and a hot shower. The tack room is heated and secure, and there is a free lorry park.
