Rehabilitation
We have vast experience, gained over 30 years of returning horses to work safely and in a way that promotes maximum recovery.
Our experience includes rehabilitation following tendon and ligament injuries, post orthopaedic surgery, kissing spine surgery, intensive nursing following trauma injuries, post colic surgery care and many other sports injuries. We work very closely with leading veterinary surgeons and equine physiotherapists to develop individual rehabilitation plans for each horse.
We can provide box rest, controlled exercise programs including in hand work, horse walker, lunging and long reining. We have very small individual turnout paddocks to use where restricted turn out is required. We have quiet lanes and and school master horses to act as nannies to enable us to carry out road work when needed.
Please take a look at the case studies.
Specialised breaking and schooling for all disciplines
We take a great deal of time and trouble to break young horses so that they are confident and have a sound and secure start, providing them with good foundations to continue their training and become successful in any discipline or a safe and sensible ride for a pleasure rider.
We consider the needs of the person who will be riding the horse and tailor our training to their requirements. We have started horses who have gone on to be very successful in eventing, show jumping, racing, endurance and endurance racing, dressage and showing as well as many pleasure horses who their owners simply enjoy hacking and have varied from Sports Horses to Shire Horses.
Pre training for racehorses and Midseason refresher breaks.
We offer a pre training service for horses destined to go to professional racehorse trainers.
We can do initial fitness / roadwork at competitive rates, saving owners costs and ensuring that the horse arrives at the trainer’s yard in tip top condition and ready to start fast work. We also take horses who may be stale mid season and would benefit from freshening up with a change of scenery and a different regime.
Holiday/short term liveries
Short term liveries, for example if the owner is on holiday or suffering with illness and cannot care for the horse. This can be on a full livery basis with or without exercising.
