AGISTMENT

We offer full agistment for serious riders - in a happy, relaxed supportive environment where we all share the journey. It will suit riders looking for a dressage competition base or the opportunity to develop the art of riding for its own sake. We can help you achieve your goals or simply enjoy a happy horse.

FACILITIES :

40 x 20 indoor arena	Fully dust-suppressed Arenamix sand/woodchip surface, harrowed daily.
60 x 20 outdoor arena	Fully dust-suppressed Arenamix, harrowed daily
Indoor hot/cold rainwater washbay with Sunswitch heaters
15-acre dedicated riding paddock with 80x30 sand arena with outer 500metre training track. Horses can be fully trained and “ridden out” without leaving the property and having to confront traffic etc.

 

 

Each horse is treated as an individual with large (4mx5m) stable, and individual fully pastured (lucerne/clover/Veld/Velt grasses) paddock separated by 5m raceway to avoid contact with other horses.

 

Our daily horse routine is as follows:

Horses are given small hard feed in stables at 7am while rugging is changed for that day‘s weather.

Horses then led to day paddocks and have breakfast of hay/oaten hay depending on needs of horse.

Horses generally fed lunch of hay/oaten hay at noon depending on paddock feed time of year etc.

Stables cleaned at 8am before morning training sessions with our resident Lipizzaner colts/stallions.

Arenas harrowed either at lunch time or late afternoon to ensure you always work on a level, correct footing.

Horses come into stables at about 5pm for hard feed and hay.

Horses checked at 10pm and we can offer a webcam to your stable or email digital pictures as you require.

We are not open to the public as such and riders who keep their horses with us are assured of always being our top priority, having a harrowed arena to work on, hot coffee or cold drinks on tap and understanding that money can't buy.

Our care of your horse includes individual feeding regime, rugging, worming, supervising farrier.

We intend to hold clinics with overseas instructors, including riders from the Spanish riding School, once we have determined your needs.

Fees from $28 per day depending on requirements.

Your only other costs are shoeing - about $60-$70 every five weeks and any veterinary expenses.

 

Please phone to arrange inspection and discuss your individual requirements.
