Livery
|
We offer all types of livery, from a one night stay to becoming a permanent resident. Each horse is an individual and we construct each livery package to match their needs.
Prices start from as little £8 a day so please get in touch to discuss your requirements. |

All our stables are 15' x 13' with a bay front bringing the depth out to 15'. Each one has it's own window, which we keep open as much as possible ( weather allowing).
The barn is split into 2 sections by our wash boxes and feed room enabling adequate separation of mares and stallions if required. |
|
Turn out and exercise is rotated to ensure that no one horse is ever left on its own.
For those that need that little 'extra' bit of company we have our Shetland Pony PP and he can be bedded down in the barn aisle directly outside stables as required or can assist with turn out.. |

Our lovely warm beds are created using a mixture of large flake shavings and chopped rape straw to provide maximum absorbency on our sealed rubber mats. Each stable has an automatic water drinker which can be switched off if water intake needs to be monitored.
We stock both hay and haylage and can steam using our Haygain steamer or soak if required.

The horses diets are set according to their level of work with most of the horses on box rest being fed a balancer to ensure they get the correct vitamin and mineral intake to aid in their recovery.
All horses are weighed on arrival and then at regular intervals to monitor any change in weight with the diets being altered accordingly.

A seperate stable block operates as an isolation yard when necessary. All horses are required to have current Flu and Tetanus vaccinations and will need to be worm counted, and wormed if required, upon arrival.
Our fields are poo picked daily and we regularly check the count on droppings rather than blanket worming which can lead to wormers becoming ineffective.

20x60m Outdoor Arena
Oval Horsewalker
Our oval horsewalker is 12m x 18m meaning that the horse is never on a constant turn due to it having 4 corners with 4 straights in between. This prevents the overloading of the inside limb that happens on many smaller, circular models.
The walker has a sand surface which enables the horse to move as naturally as possible and to avoid the concussion that can occur from rubber tiles. It is also kinder for any barefoot horses who may have had shoes removed for box rest/time off.
The double width doors allow for safe entry and exit to the walker for firstimers. The pushers can either be electrified or not depending on each horse. The speed can also be altered according to the length of each horses stride. Generally the walker is set to change direction every 10 minutes, the 8' wide walkway allows plenty of room for even the largest of horses to turn round comfortably. The direction can also be set to remain constant if required.

Wash Bays with Solarium and Hot Water
The yard boasts 2 dedicated wash bays each with their own solarium and hot water.
The solariums have both infra red and ultra violet bulbs and are ideal for use before/after work or for horses that cannot have turn out and get the sun on their backs.
