Low Meadows Equestrian Centre

Low Meadows Equestrian Centre is a family-run livery yard situated on the edge of the Durham Dales near Lanchester, County Durham. The centre provides stabling and grazing for privately owned horses, with a choice of DIY, full and bespoke livery packages to suit different routines and budgets. Additional services such as turnout, bring in, forage and bedding can be added to individual arrangements, and bespoke packages allow owners to tailor care to their horse's needs.

The facilities are extensive for a yard of this size and centre on a mix of indoor and outdoor riding areas. Riders can school in a 20m x 60m grass dressage arena, a sand and fibre indoor arena, a large indoor area finished with a waxtrack surface and a floodlit outdoor arena with a rubber surface. A floodlit show jumping paddock is available for jumping practice, while a mile-round sand surfaced gallop track provides space for faster work and fitness. Stabling is complemented by turnout paddocks, and the rural setting opens directly onto hacking in the surrounding dales.

The centre supports dressage, hacking and show jumping, making it a practical base for riders who want to train across more than one discipline. Hacking routes lead from the yard into the open Durham Dales countryside, giving horses regular exposure to varied terrain away from the arenas. With a mix of surfaces on site, schooling can continue regardless of weather or season.

DIY livery is priced from GBP 47 per week, with full livery and bespoke options also available. The postcode for satnav is DH7 0RE. The yard sits within easy reach of Durham city and the A691, and is well placed for owners travelling from across County Durham and the wider North East. Enquiries about availability, packages and additional services can be made by contacting the centre directly.
