Louise Bussey oversees training, ensuring horses receive expert care and preparation for national and international events. Clients benefit from direct access to proven competition strategies and facilities that mirror professional show environments.
Rehabilitation Livery
Specialised rehabilitation services address musculoskeletal injuries and post-operative care. Our team combines veterinary expertise with tailored recovery programs to maximise healing. Facilities include controlled exercise areas and monitoring systems to ensure optimal recovery for horses requiring intensive post-injury or post-surgery care.

Report
I have been a livery at Wodehouse Stud for over a year now and I couldn’t be happier with the care my horse is receiving from the dedicated team. The trining and facilities are second to none. Louise is a very patient and understanding coach who instills confidence and makes jumping fun, whilst India and Atiya are always happy to assist with riding and solving issues from the saddle. I thoroughly recommend the Stud and the Bussey girls!
