Five Star Horse Facilities

Most horse owners want their horse to receive the best care and treatment at the finest livery yard near their home. For this, they look for a good livery yard that offers the best care and facilities in the perfect environment.

Some livery yards claim to offer five star facilities as well as bespoke full and part livery packages. You can look at 5* horse facilities Hampshire, Andover, Winchester if you live in or around these areas.

Let us look at what constitutes 5* facilities for horses.

Facilities for the care of your horse

Most good livery yards these days provide facilities that help in the promotion of good health for your horse. These include a  chiropractic massage and infra red therapy in a horse solarium.  Here, your horse would also be rubbed down and receive a shampoo followed by a hot shower. Then they are dried properly and are taken for a light muscle-warming exercise. This treatment is not merely cosmetic. Exposure to infra red lights helps to increase the formation of Vitamin D3 that improves the immune system, coronary health, appetite and tones muscles. It also helps with better fertility, balance and temperament.

An Olympic size riding arena

Your horse loves to gallop and trot and he can do so in a wonderful Olympic sized riding arena complete with protective windbreaks on one side and a suitable enclosure. Some liveries also offer a floodlit school that allows horse owners to exercise their horse at any suitable time. Other facilities offered are mirrors for dressage, viewing patio areas and a new sand and fibre surface.

Excellent Spacious Stables

Stables need to be clean and well structured to ensure your horses comfort. A good livery will always have airy and spacious stables with proper light, running water, CCTV and 24 hour supervision as well.

Paddocks

No ordinary, swampy riding range will do for your horse. Let him run on well kept soil that has been perfected using a rotation system. Other features of well maintained paddocks are post and rail fencing and mains electric fencing.

Company

If you think of five star facilities then the company your horse keeps is just as important. You can be sure he is in good hands.

Horses do have a sense of gratitude and so always make sure you get your horse the best care and attention possible.
