EXTRAS

Please let us know if your horse has any special requirements and we will do our best to meet these needs.

Individual turnout
Some of our large post and rail fields are divided into individual paddocks with double electric fence, this means we can control the amount of grazing available to each horse and still access the fields for regular maintenance. There is a separate permanent gate and water trough for each paddock.

Exercise 
The grooms usually exercise the horses around the fields, this can be tailored to your horses needs. We have some good 'trotting' hills great for getting the horse long and low and really working through their back!
NB. We do not exercise on the roads.

Schooling
Melanie schools the horses, she focuses on getting the basics in place first with a great emphasis on true straightness. Melanie works very closely with Andrew to plan the schooling work needed for horses following osteopathic treatment.

Instruction                                                                                                     Lessons are avaialable with Melanie and we also hold regular clinics with a highly respected List 2a BD judge.

Plaiting and show prep; Clipping; Lorry/trailer parking; many more extras available for Part Liveries.

Please contact us to discuss any further requirements you may have and we will do out best to accommodate you.
