Spring is just around the corner, the horses are now finding a nibble of grass so a lot less poo on the yards which makes life a bit easier. We've spent a lot of time this winter getting our polytunnel ready and our deep beds made so we'll have a good crop of veg, plenty of flowers for the bees, got Tower and Roy in ready to be backed, doing really well, got the farrier on Wednesday for the first time for them, come summer they'll be ready for schooling, lots of other things going on in these funny times, I've only left the yard a couple of times in the last 13 months. saddlechariot business has been brisk give me something else to do.

Winter's upon us, one of our busiest times, we got through the storm with minimal damage but a challenge to put hay in the feeders outside, as the wind kept giving it back to us. All our horses including our retirements are looking good, will put more pictures up of winter horses at the weekend, we continue to make saddlechariots and ibex and have enquiries from many different locations in the world, from Switzerland to Australia. Hope your all keeping safe.
Retirement livery available
|
We can offer retirement livery here at Rowanoak, which is based in the Brecon Beacons National Park. We have a herd of 18 horses varying in breeds and ages. They would become part of the herd, being introduced slowly at their own pace.
There is at least 1 person on the yard 24 hours a day and I check on a regular basis throughout the day. We can cater for all their needs. We have a block of 9 stables if they should be needed. A majority of the horses live out all year round having access to hay throughout the winter months. All our horses are barefoot so we ask that shoes are removed before coming. Customer Reviews are Available on request. Please contact Nick on 07870765018 or email him at: nick@rowanoaklivery.co.uk with your requirements and to discuss a plan etc. The Hard SurfaceWell it's taken a while but after all the hard work and the waiting it's finally finished. The horses are able to use it again. No more standing in mud.

Let horses be horses
Embrace how they feed and behave within their natural environment. Allow the spirit of the horse to guide you. At Rowanoak we aim to provide horses with surroundings in which they feel truly contented. Only when a horse has peace of mind can we hope to build a positive relationship. Horses should be allowed to express themselves freely when introduced to something new. They also need the time and patience to develop at their own pace. We encourage people to build confidence and trust through fun, stimulating play in addition to more disciplined ridden work. Horses are able to move more freely without the constraint of a bit. We promote the use of bitless bridles as a safer, more comfortable alternative for horse and rider. Obedience and co-operation when ridden should be offered willingly if a genuine partnership exists.Too many people have lost touch with their passion for horses through the pressure and expectation of modern riding.
We can offer natural solutions for:Feeding, Riding, Behavioural Problems, Physical Ailments and many more.
Please contact us for helpful advice/to arrange an appointment for details of our natural remedies.
