Equestrian Property & Land Services

Equestrian properties frequently combine elements of:

• Agricultural land use

• Commercial enterprise

• Residential occupation

As with farming businesses, equestrian operations require careful consideration of land use, infrastructure, planning constraints and long-term sustainability. Many equestrian clients are also landowners in their own right, facing the same strategic decisions as traditional rural estates.

Our expertise allows us to provide holistic advice tailored to the unique needs of the equestrian sector.

We advise on a wide range of equestrian-related matters, including:

Equestrian Services FAQs

Do equestrian landowners have similar needs to farmers?

Yes. Equestrian operations often share similar requirements to farming businesses, including land management, grazing, infrastructure, planning compliance and long-term strategy.

Can equestrian land be treated as agricultural land?

In many cases, equestrian land continues to be managed in a similar way to agricultural land. However, planning and use classifications can vary, and professional advice is important to ensure compliance and maximise opportunities.

Do you advise private horse owners as well as commercial yards?

Yes. We act for both private equestrian landowners and commercial equestrian enterprises, providing advice suited to the scale and objectives of the operation.

Can equestrian property be diversified?

Often yes. Equestrian land and buildings may lend themselves to diversification, subject to planning and other considerations. We provide strategic advice to explore appropriate options.

Do you work with landowners who also farm?

Yes. Many of our equestrian clients also farm or operate mixed rural enterprises. Our experience across rural sectors allows us to provide integrated advice.

When should I seek professional advice?

Early advice is recommended, particularly before purchasing land, changing use, investing in new facilities or altering existing arrangements.
