Just a few of the customers and horses that we have been able to help. We can help with all breeds of horses, not just thoroughbreds, so please do contact us if you need help with your horse.

Marques came to Moorcroft on 21st February. I was looking for specialist help and support to unpick his complex history of repeated episodes of lameness over the last four years. I was desperate to find a solution rather than retire him at 8 years of age.

Marques was lame in front and behind on ridden assessment. I believe he had given me his very best but had reached the end of the road and so had I.

Moorcroft is an oasis in the horse world where time, expertise and dedication sets them apart from everyday veterinary clinics and other types of rehabilitation centres. I wish their approach to assessment and rehabilitation of both horse and rider was mirrored around the country. Their multidisciplinary team work is exemplary. Mary’s complete dedication and her experienced eye is a precious commodity. Lianne’s sensitive riding and care of all the horses is exceptional. As a team they assess, reassess, analyse and problem solve together to understand how to best help the horse.


Over the last 3 months Marques has had multiple interventions from Vasco. How can I begin to praise him? He takes a very serious and considered approach. He is focused, knowledgeable, calm and exceedingly good at his job. He and Mary explained every treatment and the management thereafter. No one made any promises but remained positive and, metaphorically speaking, have held my hand all the way. My goodness me - where in the country can you find that sort of help?

Marques is so much better. We still have strengthening work to do but he is sound. With Mary’s continued help and understanding of all his problems we are working towards a much better future. I cannot thank the Moorcroft team enough.

Great Experience


“My warmblood was having problems making comfortable canter transitions and was becoming quite difficult to ride. I chose to ask Moorcroft’s help and my horse stayed there for 8 weeks. It was a great experience where I got so much confidence-giving help with my schooling and some Veterinary advice and physiotherapy and I have a greater understanding of my horses problems and have come away very happy indeed with a much better horse. I would not hesitate to go back again if needed and wish I could have stayed longer.”

Thank You


“I came to Moorcroft for help last year and have not left. I had lost my confidence in myself and in my horse and was confused. I had had a bad fall and was nervous. Mary and her team got my horse going again, they explained the discomfort he was in and that was sorted and then they helped me back to confidence. Seeing him ridden regularly by the team there helped me to see and understand that he was not being naughty but had been uncomfortable and was expressing that. I have truly learned a lot about him and about my riding and I feel I am improving all the time now. The atmosphere is quiet and calm, and all the horses are settled. Schooling sessions and hacks are calm and trouble free. Nothing is too much trouble and the horses do come first”

Re-backing My Young Horse


“My 4yr old had some time off and needed to be re-backed. I was not sure I could do it on my own so I asked Mary and her team at Moorcroft to help. Their indoor school is a great place for horses to gain confidence and concentrate and the team are always helpful, calm and very experienced. My horse spent 10 weeks there and developed real muscle and strength very quickly and came away a well-established horse going calmly. I go back regularly for help and would recommend most highly. Thank you .”

Highly Recommended


“I first approached Mary at Moorcroft when I needed help with my horse following treatment to his hocks. Mary's vast experience and expertise also helped diagnose suspensory ligament problems and he subsequently had surgery. A rehabilitation training programme of long-reining was implemented for him and he was carefully brought back into ridden work. The knowledge, expertise, care and support at the Centre is second to none. They have helped me tremendously and they come very highly recommended. I have also since gone on to re-home one of the ex-racehorses and am having a wonderful partnership with him.”
