Cheval Liberté
Cheval Liberté are the leaders in equestrian stables, barns and horse trailers for UK & Ireland – and that’s why the All England Jumping Course, Hickstead has entrusted Cheval Liberté with the UK’s most important equestrian project in 2025.
The dream and brainchild of one man, Douglas Bunn, Hickstead opened its doors in 1960. Today, Hickstead is one of the most iconic and prestigious equestrian venue in the world hosting major events that include The Al Shira’aa Hickstead Derby Meeting and The Agria Royal International Horse Show.
Due to its continued success and growth, The All England Jumping Course required new stabling to elevate its offering to international competitors and to accommodate the growing numbers of horses, riders and competitors attending the venue throughout the course of the year.
Hickstead appointed Cheval Liberté UK & Ireland to support the venue with the manufacture and build of the new stabling accommodation with work commencing in mid-January 2025.
The new bespoke stables were designed and created to meet all of Hickstead’s specific needs, and this consisted of an extremely impressive six Manoir American Barns, comprising a total of 204 stables made from recycled plastic with an essential insulated roof.
The inclusion of recycled plastic was integral to the brief provided by Hickstead – this decision will ensure that the new barns and stables are durable, low-maintenance, safe, water resistant, versatile, cost effective and eco-friendly.
Cheval Liberté has been supporting the UK and Ireland equestrian market for over 20-years, that’s why major equestrian brands and venues like Hickstead want to partner with Cheval Liberté who are today considered the UK and Ireland’s number one equestrian brand.
Commenting on the project:
“Cheval Liberté is extremely proud of our close working relationship and partnership with The All England Jumping Course. Working in collaboration with Hickstead has been extremely rewarding for all concerned.
This opportunity has enabled Cheval Liberté to showcase our innovation, industry knowledge and uncompromising commitment to delivering customer satisfaction. On top of this, we have helped create something very special which will be used and enjoyed by thousands of horses and riders over the coming years”.
