Hi I'm Kerry and I have owned MEC since June 2004.  Prior to that I owned a small livery yard in Wishaw, called Foxes Court Livery,  and prior to that we lived in Middleton for 5 years.  It was my husband that wanted to move back to Middleton in 2004, and as MEC was the only place for sale we bought it after nearly 9 months of strife, with the comment 'well its only a few horses .... you'll manage’ !!!

Since taking over life has never been the same, but the place has had a much needed face lift, all the horses have been replaced and now do not spend more than 2 years in the riding school environment, and are sold onto to private owners once they have ‘done their time’.  This ensures that lovely, well behaved horses are rewarded with a loving one to one relationship in return for teaching many people to ride in the safety of the riding school.

I much prefer horses and dogs to people.  I find them ultimately more loyal than human beings, therefore anyone visiting MEC will soon realise that it’s all about the horse – we do aim to please humans too, but our horses and ponies are very precious and remain our first priority.  They all live in 5 star luxury and you will see that they are all terribly well mannered and affectionate.

I have created ‘Team Apollo’, and you can read more about our Team on the Apollo’s Pages, including our History, our Photo Gallery and any breaking news that is relevant to the Team, which comprises of the following horses :

Apollo’s State Secret (Buffy)
Apollo’s Statesman (Daniel)
Apollo’s Salvadore (Salvadore)
Apollo’s Secret Liaison (Leo)

And the leader of the pack and founder of The Team – Apollo’s Destiny (Duke)

I enjoy Eventing and currently event State Secret although I am hoping to event Secret Liaison, once he has grown up (only three and half years old at  the moment), he is our latest edition and is a Stallion by Eurocommerce Vancouver, out of a Burgraff mare.

Please come and visit MEC anytime between 8am and 6pm seven days a week,  please register at reception and one of our Team will be pleased to show you around our lovely Yard, and you will meet our superb horses and ponies.

If you have any questions please email me personally on kerry@middletonequestrian.co.uk and I will do everything I can to be of assistance.
