WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BUYING AN EQUESTRIAN PROPERTY


With approximately one million horses under ownership in the UK, it’s easy to see why equestrian properties are among the country’s most sought-after homes. Purchasing an equestrian property can be a great investment and living with your horses just across the yard can be a wonderful experience. However, there are a few considerations that need to be taken into account to know you are making the right decision and buying a home that works for you.


According to Jonathan Handford, Managing Director of Fine & Country Leamington Spa, purchasing a home that accommodates horses adds to the number of things one needs to think about when choosing a property. He says that other aspects come into play such as choosing a property with the correct soil, to knowing what features to look for in a barn. It’s important to know what to look out for based on your criteria.


Jonathon provides some key aspects to keep in mind when looking for an equestrian property:


WHAT KIND OF RIDER ARE YOU? A big determining factor in selecting the right property will be whether you are a casual weekend rider or a seasoned competitor. If you are someone who enjoys a quiet hack through the woods you will need around an acre per horse, three or four stables and some good places to ride. A property with an American-style barn would work well, as it can be converted into additional stables if need be. While a horse walker or indoor school would be a nice feature to have, it is not a must.


For competitive riders, an indoor school, horse walker and space for trailers on the property are essential rather than additional features. Proximity to show grounds and events would also be a consideration for serious or professional riders. The discipline in which the rider competes would also have a bearing on the property selection as dressage, eventing, polo, and point-to-point trainers will all require slightly different facilities.
