With over 20 years of experience with horses, Kim Peters, the owner and principal trainer of Bowhill Stables, is dedicated to practising Classical Horsemanship and providing high-quality training and livery services.

Bowhill Stables offers a range of services to cater to horse owners' needs. They provide livery services, ranging from DIY to full options, at competitive prices. The stable has 20 well-maintained stables, a full-sized floodlit outdoor arena, and ample sheltered grazing. The beautiful Bowhill Estate, spanning over 46,000 acres of Scottish Borders, offers stunning woodland and moorland areas for delightful off-road hacking.

In addition to livery services, Bowhill Stables provides classical training for both horses and riders. They offer private lessons on your own horse, intensive three-day clinics, and also take in horses and ponies for schooling. Using the Classical Horsemanship methods, the focus is on establishing trust and respect through groundwork before progressing to riding. This approach allows for the resolution of any behavioural issues and enables horses to learn new, easier ways of working.

Owners are encouraged to stay involved in the schooling process and are equipped with the skills to continue developing their horses at home.
