Agistment/Holiday Care
short-term & holiday care
The care of a horse is a very special and serious responsibility, and the worry of who is providing that care whilst you are absent can invariably hinder an owners’ ability to relax and enjoy their holiday. Our job is to make sure every horse gets the same high level of care as it would at home, and that every owner is assured of that. We believe everyone deserves peace of mind and a stress-free holiday (including horses!).
“Their well-being.” We recognise that every horse has individual needs, often specific only to them. It is important that the daily routines they are used to at home are kept whilst they are with us. We endeavour to ensure all cover/rug changing and feeding aspects of their day are carried out with their safety, well-being and routine in mind.
“Your peace of mind.” Equally as important as each guests’ happiness and well-being, is each owners’ peace of mind. It is in integral part of our service and as such we hold it in the same regard as any other aspect of our business. We will report regularly to each owner (as often as requested and by whichever preferred method ie, text, email, phone call, Facebook). Owners are also welcome to contact us at any time for an unscheduled report if they wish.
