Wow that is a big mountain of wood chip! It will be going on our track system to level out the ground for the mud control mats and to protect the topsoil around our trees. We will be using plenty of it to create lots of dry places for your horses to be out on over winter.

šŸ“ Huge very well ventilated, very sheltered barn with big fluffy straw beds mucked out and topped up every day

šŸ“ Fresh mains water every day
šŸ“ Freedom to express natural herd behaviours
šŸ“ Lots of storage space
šŸ“ 60x20 floodlit, regularly harrowed, fibre surfaced arena that never has so much as a puddle in it

Exciting newsā€¦.
The first instalment for the track livery is being delivered tomorrow- a full pallet of mud control mats which are guaranteed to take 20 tonne vehicles so fairly hopeful they will cope with horses walking on them.
It should be enough to build the first track and feeding station. The next order coming is the materials for the loafing area and some interest on the initial track.
Lots of work over the next few weeks to get it all up and running - but what else would we be doing with our Xmas holiday šŸ¤£

NEW TRACK LIVERY COMING!

Itā€™s been a while since we updated our progress after building our beautiful barn, but we have done an awful lot of thinking, soul searching and maths!

Ultimately we have decided to change our business plan, we are no longer going to put a whole set of fancy new stables in the barn.

When we bought 20 acres of British native woodlands 8 years ago it was always with the intention of setting up a ā€œtrack systemā€, we werenā€™t looking for acres of grass grazing.

Time and circumstances outside our control swayed us from this initial plan and we thought trying to make stabled liveries work was the way to go.

Luckily I somehow managed to remember my original dream for this incredible place and now I have an amazing barn to help bring it to life.

So what is a track system livery ?

The idea has been around and in use for some time now, and there are lots of resources on the internet describing track systems, paddock paradises and equicentral systems.

They basically describe a herd living situation where the horses have complete freedom to be indoors or outdoors with permanent access to plenty of good quality forage spread around for social comfort and maximum movement over a variety of surfaces.

Here at Woolley Moor Equestrian the horses will be able to come and go as they please with full access to
*barn - bedded with rubber mats and big straw beds,
* a large sand loafing area where they can dig roll and sleep in the sun,
* a ā€˜trackā€™ surfaced with a variety of environmentally friendly mud control mats that sit on top of the soil to keep their feet out of the mud and allow them to explore and travel around our woodlands foraging the trees and hedgerows.
* a large trough automatic drinker
* and a variety of areas of different interest such as wood chip or pea gravel.

Over time we will continue to invest in and extend the track system to maximise the use of our woodlands whilst remaining sensitive to the health of our native trees, land and wildlife.

This means your horse will truly be able to live out 24/7 365 days of the year with all of his friends able to demonstrate proper natural horse behaviours and maintain a healthy physical and mental condition.

This type of living is suitable for all horses and we will introduce new horses to the herd gradually monitoring and making sure everyone is happy and safe. It is especially suited to those with metabolic issues or laminitis as access to grass can be properly controlled without reducing exercise and freedom.

Over the next few weeks we will be working hard to ready the facilities to accept our first new residents in january.

Please make enquiries to myself Sarah Foster on 07411775852 or via email [email protected]

Our good friend Katy Malone will still be here providing stable livery in our original stable block.

Well done to Lyla for all your hard work with Tiny. As soon as a schedule for the annual Holsworthy and Stratton Show appeared on the yard, Lyla has had her sights set on the miniature Shetland class. Lyla has spent hours, day after day training ā€˜Mathew Smithā€™ aka Tiny to trot up in hand nicely. Well it paid off beautifully today landing them with first prize and prize money to boot, as well as a chance to enter the championship and the prize winners parade. So proud of these two and despite the rain a jolly good day out! šŸµļø

Bear is such a good boy. Only 4 years old, and this must only be his 8th or 10th lunging session - heā€™s already learned ā€˜standā€™, ā€˜walkā€™ and ā€˜trotā€™ transition. Sarah rode him after this but no video Iā€™m afraid because he still likes to follow a human when he has a rider on him! We adore him - he was so placid this evening. We think heā€™s going to be an amazing pony.

Tom reminds himself that all the poles are meant to stay upright - 50% success but his balance, rhythm and performance are so much better thanks to Jaime Cottier at Holsworthy. #horse #horses #horsesofinstagram #horsestagram #horseriding #horsepower #equine #equinephotography #equinesofinstagram #equinephotographer #equinelife #equinephoto #equestrian #equestrians #equestrainlife #equestrianstyle #livery #equestrianschooling #crosscountry #crosscountryschooling #crosscountrycoaching #dressage #dressagecoaching #horseriding #hacking #stables #sandschool #diylivery #partlivery #fulllivery #schoolinglivery #retirementlivery #tracklivery #barefoothorses #barefootlivery #barefoot #paddock #paddocks #equestrianyard #stableyard #liveryyard #equinemassage #farrierservices #equinephysio #saddlefitting #horsecare #equinefacilities #equestrianfacilities #schoolinghorses #dressage #dressagecoaching #eventing #eventcoaching #showjumping #britishdressage #petplanareafestival

Nice to be back behind these ears again! Emerald originally came to me in May to be brought back into work. She spent 3 weeks at home but never really settled so sheā€™s back here long term now and is very happy.

Woolley Moor Equestrian goes to the beachā€¦..it would be rude not to with the weather weā€™re having!
