Good to know
Every horse is different.
Before confirming a place, we will want to understand your horse's health, routine, temperament and any individual requirements. Veterinary treatment, dental treatment, medication, specialist feed or exceptional extras should be discussed before arrival so expectations are clear.
Planning care properly
Talk through the details before your horse arrives.
Retirement care works best when the practical things are agreed early: medication needs, handling preferences, specialist requirements, update preferences and what should happen if something changes.
Before arrival
Share your horse's routine, health background and handling preferences so the move is planned properly.
Vet and dentist visits
We can attend and manage appointments on your behalf, then provide full updates. The vet or dentist's own charges are not included in the livery fee.
