Emily S;

I’ve had my 26yr old gelding on retirement livery at Candletrees since March this year. I’ve never seen him so happy, since he retired and couldn’t recommend this yard enough.  I’m given constant updates on him, how he’s doing and if anything is needed. I can sleep happy at night, knowing he is in the care of the Candletrees team.

We have had our young horses at Candletrees now for a number of years. Every horse has been looked after with such care and attention and there really couldn’t be a more idyllic place for horses to grow up. Thank you so much to Michael, Tracy and the whole team.

Kate So Gizmo is a very happy boy turned away at CandleTrees Equestrian living the good life! He’ll have a break for a year or two until I’ve finished studying my Masters in Psychology and retraining to be a Counsellor. One day I’d like to train in LEAP and Gizmo would be a therapy horse to help others. He gives the best cuddles!

My two 3yo boys are finally home.
Just want to say a massive THANKYOU to CandleTrees Equestrian for looking after them for this past year.  Honestly wouldn’t send my young ones anywhere else for spending their most delicate years growing up in nice herds and under the careful care of Tracy.
Thankyou to all the team there for everything.

Having moved several times over the last 6 years with 2 horses, we have had experienced several yards. Having found CandleTrees nestled in a valley with stunning views, this 150 acre farms offers all year turnout, larger than average stabling, fantastic schooling facilities and hacking on the land. It’s the first time I have seen the horses as relaxed and content as they are currently. I very much believe horses should have space to run free all year and I thank Tracey for looking after them with such a calm manner kindness. It is rare to find such a hidden gem with an welfare focused ethos . Thank you.
