Dressage Training and Livery Yard

About Mearas Stables

Mearas Stables was started in January 2009 by Sarah Sjoholm-Patience, as a training base, and as a way to offer the quality of care she had struggled to find at a reasonable price for her and her clients’ horses.

Having moved to a larger, more peaceful facility in October 2009, Mearas is now in a position to offer all the quality of care and training you would expect in a top dressage yard, in a quiet and friendly atmosphere.

Between Sarah herself, the owners onsite and a very experience head girl in Miss Toni Bates along with a small team of conscientious staff, you can be confident that your horse will receive only the best of care.

Please view our services page to learn about our packages. As we know each horse is different, we are always happy to accommodate any special requirements you may have.
