Space for one very quiet mare to join our small herd of four who are all calm and good doers, ideally on a DIY basis (however assistance can be provided at extra cost) on a small private happy hacking/retirement yard in a unique private estate location in the Fordingbridge area. The yard is such a beautiful calm place and we need a very special horse and owner to join us.
The ideal horse would need to be:-
Calm and well mannered
Non dominant
Respectful of fencing
Good to catch
Be well behaved in stable
Able to be left alone in stable or field (if others are out hacking or just up at the yard being fed etc
Suitable for retirement/happy hacker/companion horse
Now for the the ideal owner!! You will need to be:-
Kind and trustworthy
Able to poo pick daily
Must see to their horse at least once a day (unless discussed otherwise)
Happy to share the load when anyone on holiday and general yard duties
Respectful
Friendly disposition and good sense of humour and, who just wants a lovely place to enjoy their horse.
We will not tolerate any of the usual shenanigans that can go on at yards - any yard politics, nasty rude behaviour, anyone that thinks their horse is better than everyone else's, or who doesn't care for their horse properly
We can offer:-
Lovely airy stable
Beautiful surroundings with amazing views
Feed room and storage area
Large fields with natural shelter and 24/7 grazing all year round
Fields and private woodland to ride around and we do set up schooling paddocks
Easy access onto the new forest with minimal roadwork (there are a few gates but we have mastered them!)
Small area to make tea/coffee
Hay is available and we share the cost amongst us, your horse's feed, bedding and any wormers are your responsibility. We do regular worm counts throughout the year and worm accordingly.
DIY cost for a month is £175 per month and a deposit will be required. Should you need any assistance with your horse this can be discussed separately.
You will need to have public liability insurance, your horse will need to be registered with a vet and up to date with all vaccinations.
Please contact me by email and I am happy to discuss further, references will be required.
