One of the most common equestrian planning applications is a simple change of use application from agricultural to equestrian use. There is a fine line between horses being classed as agriculture or as equestrian. As a rule of thumb, you can keep horses on your own land under an agricultural use, as long as they are only grazing on that land. As soon as you start exercising the horse on the land, you must seek planning permission for equestrian use.
We understand that every equestrian property is unique, and so is our approach to marketing it. Our in house marketing experts work closely with our equestrian team to create bespoke strategies that showcase each property’s full potential. From professional photography, drone videography, and targeted social media campaigns to premium listings and engaging brochures, we ensure your property reaches the right audience.
Whether you’re selling a working yard, a rural home with land, or a high end equestrian estate, we know how to position it effectively to attract genuine interest and achieve the best results.
