We have a variety of
treatments and services offered to assist the recovery of our client's horses.
The combination of such treatments is designed into a programme to suit each
different horse's needs.
Sometimes a horse has an obvious problem such
as an injury but there are times when a horse is showing signs of misbehaving
such as bucking when ridden but when the problem is looked into further it has
been caused by a physical problem. With the services we offer we are able to
look at the whole horse and not just the initial problem, in this way we hope
to be able to ensure a permanent recovery.

Alongside the traditional livery services we also
offer Problem Solving, these can be either as a visit to you and your horse or
where the horse comes to stay at liveryand we work through the problem along
with the owner.
Whether you have a young foal or weanling that needs
handling; a horse that needs saddling, long-reining, backing; a horse who
won’t shoe, catch, load, clip, needs schooling, hacking out, or anything
else you can think of we can provide you with a solution to get you heading in
the right direction.
