Stabling Facilities

We have 18 internal and external stabling facilities at our yard near Kelso . All the stables are fitted with Quattro anti slip rubber flooring and Quattro rubber padded walls ensuring maximum comfort and safety for horses and ponies in transit whilst in our care.

We feel the rubber almost eliminates the risk of infection due to constant cleanliness and we use Bedmax to bed the equines down due to there proven reliability for dust free shavings and stable management. All stables are fitted with automatic fresh water drinking bowls.

We have four small turn out paddocks, which are post and railed and electrified for in transits, should they need to be turned out during there stay with us. We also have a Claydon exercise pen available in the yard should a horse or pony need to stretch their legs.

By abiding by animal health journey rules we make it company policy to use first class stabling facilities up and down the country . Using these facilities enables us to keep within the law and ensure the animal's journey is as safe and stress free as possible,so when they reach there destination they look and feel like they have had a comfortable trip. We pride ourselves on ensuring the animals are rested and having these various locations all over the United Kingdom and Ireland at hand means we can always be in reasonable reach for safely unloading the horses/ponies.

We as a company pride ourselves on looking after the horse/ponies best needs and find it more beneficial to stable some in-transits over at our yard in Kelso. Whether it be mid week or weekends before they carry on to there respective journeys this enables the horses to arrive stress free and refreshed at their new destinations. We have been using this method for many years now and find it works very well. Our yard is secured and supervised 24 hours a day, 7 days a week making sure all the horses and ponies receive 1st class treatment.
