What to expect

The day will start off with a foal parade explaining their ages, breeding and futures. Followed by a loose schooling demonstration on how we teach a young horse to jump. Then we will have a specialised talk & demonstration on body scoring a horse & how we adjust their diet to each individual. We then have an exciting demonstration with the vet scanning two mares that are in foal. As well as a farrier demonstrating how he shoes a horse that's in moderate work. During the afternoon you can go and meet the horses & foals in the stables and view the facilities including our all-weather turnout paddocks. We will close the afternoon with our "Guess the Weight of a foal competition" by weighing them in front of everyone and announce the winner. There are no entry fees to the afternoon, but we are asking for donations for a Defibrillator/AED for our local community as well as the competition proceeds going towards this that will hopefully give our rural community a life saving piece of equipment.
