DEFRA-authorised stabling and grazing on our secure Warwickshire smallholding.
DEFRA authorised
NEEDARIDE Horse Transport's stables & lairage service offers a place where horses will be rested. Moving house or yards is stressful enough without the headache of making sure fields, shelters and fencing are up to scratch before the move. By adding daily or weekly stabling to the journey, it adds breathing space. The Stables & Lairage are DEFRA authorised and located quietly amongst the rolling hills of Warwickshire, on our own 8-acre smallholding — completely secure, ring fenced with electric gates, with full 24-hour supervision and CCTV.
Traditional brick-built stables, in various sizes from 12 X 12 to 18 X 12 with windows in each, and a large overhang to protect from rain and sun. Non-slip rubber matting is fitted in each stable. Shavings or hemp is provided for bedding (when booking your overnight stay please let us know if any horse suffers from allergies). We offer hay or haylage ad-lib (unless otherwise instructed).
On arrival, horses are stabled and fed, checked and skipped out during the course of the day and night. A ménage is available adjacent to the stables, where horses can stretch a leg or two. All grazing is on level, well-drained land. The paddocks include shelters that are cleaned and maintained daily (please advise on booking if you require turnout for your horse). Finally, an easy loader is on site to assist horses back on board to continue the journey.
Moving home is one of life's most stressful times. One of the biggest worries for horse owners is making sure the horses are collected amongst the chaos of removal men and lorries, then making sure someone is at the new address to receive the horses. NEEDARIDE Horse Transport can relieve some of this pressure by transporting the horses and offering overnight rest (or until you're ready for your horse). This allows you to smoothly execute the move, and gives you time to prepare your new stables and check fencing before receiving the horses.
