About Us
Shaw Farm Liveries is an exciting brand new venture set up by Esther Horsfall in the winter of 2008.
After owning horses for many years and experiencing different yard environments we first ran a DIY livery yard,
which is still and has been successful for the past 3 years. Using this past experience we have built and designed Shaw Farm Liveries
with state of the art facilities in order to provide the best environment for both horse and owner.
With months and months of planning and organising Shaw Farm Liveries is now open for business and is excited at
welcoming new clients. Over the next few years we want to build on our experience, knowledge and services to bring the best facility for horse care.
In order to do this we have a knowledgeable and experienced team:
