About Us

Astwood Livery is owned by Andrew & Melanie Marling.

Many of you already know Andrew from Astwood Equine Osteopaths, where we treat many horses and riders that are injured, stiff or just simply not performing at their best. Astwood Equine Osteopaths is based at our yard and we offer discounted rates to the horses kept with us. We can also offer schooling advice to correct any stiffness in the horse.

Melanie gained the BHSAI longer ago than she cares to admit! She has ridden her whole life competing at Pony Club and then British Eventing and British Dressage. Melanie now focuses on dressage and particularly enjoys schooling young horses and teaching.

 Our yard has just been accepted as a BHS approved livery yard.  All of our employees are BHS qualified and we are committed to developing our team by offering further training with Moreton Morrell college.  All of our full time employees have completed the Health & Safety with Horses course and are First Aiders.  We strive to provide a safe and happy environment for our employees and all visitors to the yard, this allows us to concentrate on providing the best level of care to your horse.  A happy team equals happy horses!
