acres of tranquil grazing and a wealth of off-road hacking across beautiful opencountryside. Combine this with the numberof top class equestrian facilities and easytransport links for those wishing to traveltheir horses further afield, and it’s not hard tosee why Essex is such a sought-after location.

The county holds something for every horseowner, from the family wanting a quiet fieldfor grazing ponies to a business person settingup a professional yard.With both the port ofHarwich and Stansted airport nearby, Essex is

particularly good for equestrians competinginternationally, and the 120-acre UnexTowerlands Park complex in Braintree is arenowned sporting, leisure and competitionvenue, which has recently played host to theBritish Equestrian Olympic team.WrittleCollege in Chelmsford, meanwhile, runs avariety of courses for those wishing toenhance their equestrian skills.

Essex holds all the benefits of rural living forhorse owners, and yet all in an easycommutable distance from London.

As such, Essex is home to a wide array ofequestrian properties for potential buyers to

peruse, from professional 30-box yards withmanège and horse walkers to countrycottages with outbuildings ripe for conversion,and everything else in between. Demand forthese properties remains high despite currenteconomic conditions, and Fine & Country’sdedicated Equestrian Division can provide thevital specialist services to both buyers andsellers of equestrian property to ensure asmooth and successful transaction.
