What is Species appropriate care?

Species appropriate care is fundamentally what it says on the tin. We give horses the care they need to fulfil their physical and mental health. In order to do this we keep to the 3 F’s;

1. Friends

We allow our horses to live together in a herd environment, they are herd animals after all.

We DO NOT keep horses in solitary confinement
We DO NOT keep horses locked in stables
We DO NOT keep horses in singular paddocks

2. Forage

We allow our horses access to our own rye free adlib hay in feeding stations around the track. They also have the natural medicinal cabinet of a mixture of hedgerow, specially selected plants and minerals.

We DO NOT have horses on starvation diets
We DO NOT have horses on short calorie rich ex dairy grass
We DO NOT leave horses without forage

3. Freedom

Our herd are free to be horses!
