Spa

Equine spa hydrotherapy relies on four factors – temperature, salt concentration, water depth and aeration.

The unit is useful in treating a multitude of issues including, joint conditions, brittle/damaged hooves, tendonitis, laminitis, soft tissue injuries and sore shins to name a few.

Solarium

The positive effect of sunlight on a horse is well documented -enhanced performance, easier relief of back tension and improved breeding success are typical results obtained by using sunlight even if it is artificial.

The different coloured lights  have different effects on the body:

GREEN – Relaxing and harmonious, improves cell regeneration and tissue formation

BLUE  - Contracts the blood vessels, calms the body and has a balancing effect

RED  -  Improves the formation of red blood cells, stimulates breathing, has a positive effect on the skin and glands, animates the senses and activates the body

YELLOW– Optically the brightest colour, it has a stimulating effect on the glands and brain

RIDDEN/GROUNDWORK

We are fortunate to have a group of competent, patient and sympathetic riders on our team who between them have experience in all equestrian sports. We are able to restart ridden work as part of an ongoing rehabilitation regimen to help the horse return to an athletic career.

Running alongside ridden work we also long rein with an option of pole work ensuring the horse is working in the correct planes. Our combination of long reining, basic schooling and hacking promotes a healthy strong core foundation to progressive exercise.

With access to beautiful country and quiet tracks all horses relish their exercise as not only does it help alleviate the tedium and boredom often associated with the recovery process but also maintains the horses enthusiasm and mental well being.

Turn out pen and paddocks

Ideal for turning a horse out that needs movement to be restricted and has a positive effect on mental well being and reduced stiffness.
