Pricing
Not many of us like talking about money, however it's best to be clear and straightforward so you know what to expect and what will need paying for outside of the normal monthly figure, with bills being clearly itemized.
The pricing has been worked out to provide the best base care whilst meeting owners' budgets.

Horses see the farrier every 6-8 weeks, with all our horses being barefoot on arrival as a rule and only shod if the farrier and / or vet determines that it's necessary. Please note: by 'shod' we mean only on the fronts, we don't have shod hinds.
We follow a mainstream lab worming programme, with wormers only used if necessary.
Please note: these are strictly necessary for the welfare of the horses and are part of the care package here.
Innoculations are the horse owners decisions. It's a closed herd, with new horses going through quarantine and so the chances of Flu are low, though of course can't be ruled out, and Tetanus is one most owners do choose to have.
Whilst the tick list above shows all the things that are included we will of course hold, help and manage everything that's needed. Additional costs that occur, such as box rest for anything greater than two days, will be billed at the end of the then relevant month.
** Of course it's stating the obvious, but of course the horse's needs come first and we'll always do what we need to make sure the horse is well kept and cared for.
Please note: we carry yard insurance, however, just to be clear, our yard insurance covers the horses and yards and third parties, it does not cover vet's fees - all vets fees, other than those stipulated above, are the responsibility of the horse's owner.
