Dairy House Farm is family run and farmer Richard Morton and his family live on the farm and manage the yard on a day to day basis.
Over many years the farm has gradually developed from being a mixed arable and livestock farm with a few shire horses into what it is today, a farm dedicated to horses and horse riders.
At Dairy House Farm you will find a wide range of stables, flexible livery options including DIY, expansive grazing and comprehensive horse riding facilities.
Here at Dairy House Farm we have over 100 acres of well maintained grazing together with fields for growing our own hay and barley for straw.

From the nearby Carrington Moss, where there is extensive hacking, you can hack out via a traffic light controlled Horse Crossing to the river Mersey and on to Sale and Chorlton Water Parks and beyond.
