when i arrived with william at nicks livery yard i didn't know what to expect, after being on the yard for a while i got to know nick and the other girls up there,the livery yard is a friendly,lovely,peaceful environment yard to be on, i am glad to be there. my horse william had a few issues when he arrived at the yard, nick came to have a look at him and sorted out his issues, he is doing well but still got a long way to go yet. if you have a problem with your horse nick is on hand to help and guide you in the right direction. nick is very helpful and also very understanding in sorting out problems.William has started wearing a bitless bridle and doing ok with it so far. william has been a different horse since being at nicks livery yard he is a very chilled out horse and very relaxed. i enjoy going to the stables, it is a peaceful place to be, the scenery is to die for it is beautiful and a good place to chill out. and also i like to watch the horses playing its a pleasure to watch. i recommend this livery yard to anyone wanting to keep there horse there, great place to learn and experience new things. nick and pam are brilliant, if it wasn't for them i don't know were i be now. brilliant brilliant yard xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I have always had trouble finding an understanding home for my highly strung gelding Flint. When the vet told me that he could not be ridden anymore due to a joint condition, I had no idea where to turn for a suitable retirement home. A friend told me about Rowan Oak and I was very interested by the amazing things that she told me, although it did sound to good to be true!I had to see for myself and when I went and visited the yard I was not disappointed. Nick was a caring man who offered a wealth of knowledge. He always thinks of the horses needs first and tackles every problem in a natural and ethical ethos. Flint has been with Nick for over three years and he has become a very placid character and his joint condition has made a vast improvement. The natural heard environment is ideal for any horse and the variety of meadow plants that they graze on offerers further nutritional depth to the diet. I would never move Flint away from Rowan Oak, he is the happiest that I have ever known him there and he is enjoying what I hope will be a long and healthy retirement.

Rowanoak livery yard and learning centre is a great place to meet other horse riders as well as riding in a beautiful area of the countryside. I’ve loved horses since I was little but didn’t have the opportunity to actually get one until now. I’ve been at Rowanoak now for about 2 years and I’ve enjoyed having Nick Sanders there to help. The great thing about Rowanoak is the stunning views all around you, the various wildlife, your even right near a bridle path. Nick is always available for help either through email or on the phone. This livery yard is within my budget and any problems Nick’s there to help. You need a sense of humour on the yard. I couldn’t of managed without the help that Nick has given me and I thank him very much for it.

I haven’t been at Rowanoak livery yard and learning centre for very long. I only really got interested in horses because of my sister, and I hope to be riding soon. Rowanoak is set in a beautiful area of countryside. There’s plenty of wildlife for you to see whether you’re a birdwatcher or not. Your right near a bridle path that leads onto the crug where you have a stunning view of the Brecon Beacons as well as other hills and mountains. Nick is available for any help or advice that you may need. Either phone him or email him and he’ll get back to you. Its nice and peaceful at Rowanoak, it’s a great place to think and get away from town life.
