We work closely with our equine physio, dentist and farrier to ensure that the animals are in the best possible health and are therefore able to work to their best. Horses are better when they are in a secure environment and they derive security from the handler/rider being in charge and working with them to develop a good relationship where the animal trusts them. Even though we have a floating population of 28 horses and ponies, they are all treated as individuals. They are in a stable which suits them and we'll change it if they don’t settle. We have had animals who won’t settle in the field, we would find them a calm friend to go out with and put them in the play pen so that they are near the yard and feel more secure, as they settle we put them in further fields and gradually they relax. We believe that regular turning out is essential to an animal’s mental well-being and again will tailor the playing out time to suit each individuals needs. In conclusion our aim is to produce happy, well-balanced horses and ponies who will work in harmony with their riders.
