🌟 Very rare gelding space available at track system setup in West Sussex RUN BY A VET 🌟
On offer is 7-day specialist retirement or rehabilitation livery on a track system where your horse is cared for by me - a vet, trainer, and Postural Rehabilitation Professional. I offer various packages tailored to you and your horse’s specific needs. All include forage, freedom, and friends as standard and my extensive input and direct one-to-one care - from daily checks and feeding, to trimming, dentals, veterinary assessments, exercise, and training.
Currently I have space for a retired or out of work gelding who needs special care for long-standing injuries, chronic pain, or health conditions.
I can also consider a more in-depth rehabilitation case, such as for investigating unresolved chronic pain, behaviours where you’re unsure whether they’re caused by pain, training, or a combination of both, or vet-phobic, needle shy, unable to handle feet, or more behaviours that may currently be interfering with investigations or treatment.
All packages include:
🐴All daily care - checks, refilling hay and water stations, giving bucket feeds, muck clearing, basic foot hygiene and grooming, changing rugs if worn, fly masks on/off
🐴Ad lib analysed meadow hay fed in various slow feeder stations placed to encourage movement
🐴Aubiose bedded lying areas
🐴24/7 turnout 365 days a year on our track system (unsurfaced, almost grass-free), or Equicentral set-up in the wettest winter months if the track gets too muddy
🐴Grazing time if tolerated on healthy, non-stressed grass - paddocks that are rested more than they are grazed
🐴A tailored nutrition plan and all feed and supplements
🐴Foot trimming on a 4-weekly cycle
🐴Enrichment and interest in the form of flavoured water stations, food puzzles, salt licks, and scratching spots
🐴Worm testing via faecal egg counts, saliva or blood tests as needed
