Hough Farm

Moved off this yard a few years ago but this was such a horrible yard. The arena was always flooded and the indoor was often boggy in areas and so narrow you can’t ride. Then the fields were so deep in mud it’s so bad! I once found my horse up to his knees in mud and struggled to get out. The hay was horrible and my horse was regularly choking on this yard which he is sensitive to but has stopped now I have good quality hay. Just the atmosphere was so negative and such an unhelpful place.

A lovely yard with great owners. Simone and Tom are very approachable and always have time for you. Having an indoor, outdoor and hacking from the farm is wonderful with the bonus of fabulous views when riding in the outdoor.

I was on Hough farm for over a year, I had some fun times and some truly sad times. I believe this yard has some serious potential but the leaky stables, unfit schools, no winter turnout and lack of communication from the owners really lets this farm down. This farm is situated in a lovely area with superb hacking but the ménage’s as said before are lacking, with unsafe holes in the indoor and fences falling down and the lights broken still after around 6 months it’s just not good enough really.I enjoyed about 65% of my time on Hough Farm but sometimes I felt like the owners were truly against me and I’m not sure if that was all down to a lack of communication.

Great place to ride, keep a horse and work with. It was my first day today and I already felt so comfortable. The people that are there are so kind and polite. Lovely environment to be in. I LOVE ITTT

Had an amazing time here they was so lovely and consumed so much to my daughter and made sure she understood, can’t thank use enough such a lovely atmosphere to x

Originally we moved here a year ago and was over the moon with the amount of space and how friendly everyone was. During the course of this year, we noticed how myself and a couple of other people were being treated differently. One rule for one, and another rule for someone else. The lack of communication between the owners is detrimental to their buisness. We've been shouted at and walked away from when trying to have the simplest of conversations. Its a shame because this yard has such potential. Avoid at all costs if you wanna pay extortionate prices for shavings and loaning!!

Hough Farm is an excellent yard. The stable we were given was lovely and large, the facilities are fantastic with an indoor and an outdoor school, and the owners are knowledgeable and friendly.Hacking from the yard is on quiet bridle ways and roads, and the countryside is lovely.There is an option for part livery, summer grazing is good and the owners Tom and Simone really care about the horses on the yard. We have really enjoyed our time on Hough Farm, and only wish it was closer to our house - if it was we would never have moved!

I moved here about a year ago with my loaner and my other half. Originally we thought the yard was fantastic. Since moving we have been treated very poorly. The owners of the yard do not communicate with each other so when a conversation is had with one of them, the other will dispute it days later, ending in argument. The owners are unable to reason with so disagreement ends with the owners shouting at you and putting their hands in your face (during covid) when it could have been settled with a calm single conversation.Rules that apply for one do not apply for others. Where some are allowed to bank transfer for things like shavings, the idea of others doing the same begins shouting arguments and ending in threats of them throwing us off the yard.Picture for proof of business with them as when my other half and loaner posted reviews they were replied with 'you haven't done business with us' even though they have been known to them for over a year.Edit- I have since emailed to get feedback of my review as asked in their reply, and they have failed to reply

Needed a stable at short notice.Tom and Simone couldn’t have been more helpful.Got a large indoor stable with American style sliding door, lockable tack room at the back.We had our own paddock, use of the indoor and outdoor arenas.Found the yard to be friendly and a nice place to be around.
