Hi everyone.
I’m still not well, still going off to hospital regularly for tests etc.
However I do realise you have rugs needing washing and sorting. 🤣 so that being said, between my daughter and her partner they are going to try and collect a few rugs for me.
It is washing and proofing we are able to do, if repairs are needed you will have to message me and send pictures. (I tried to mend one of mine at the weekend and it took two days just for rip, and Hannah says you won’t want her mending your rugs!)
We will be doing small rug collections, please don’t over face me. The turn around will not be quick unfortunately as I am having to rely on others to collect and drop back. They can’t be going all over the place as both work full time and so will be doing small areas at a time.
Please keep an eye on either my page or on here (Manor House Rug Wash) for details of what day and area we can get to. We might ask some people if they could drop off and collect at a central point for now!
As always thank you all so much for your support and patience.

Sorry I’ve been quiet on the page. Unfortunately I’m still poorly, regular trips to hospital for various tests to try and find out the root cause.
So this means unfortunately I’m still not in a position to be out collecting or washing and mending. I’m so sorry for any inconvenience caused by this and as soon as I’m either feeling a more like my normal self or have full results.
I will let you all know as soon as I am finally back to work though. Please keep an eye on the page for this, again thanks to you all and thanks for being so understanding x

I would like to wish you all a very happy Christmas,
Sorry it’s been a bit quiet on the page, I’m still not well, more tests before and after the new year, fingers crossed the hospital visits will find out what’s wrong so I can get back to you all as soon as possible.
Thanks for being so patient and understanding these last few weeks.

I’m going to have to say I’m closed for rug wash and repairs for the next couple of weeks at least, I’m very sorry but hope we are at a time now that winter rugs are all done, just a few fly rugs and lightweights that might need doing.
I will of course keep you all informed as to when I’m able to start back again.

Hi everyone, just a little update, unfortunately I’m not very well at the moment, spent most of today on an emergency hospital visit, and have tests and more visits over the next couple of weeks.
I’m
Supposed to be taking things easy! This does mean for the next couple of weeks at least my pick ups and drop offs might not be quite so regular. I’m so sorry and will get back to normal as quickly as I can.

Got a slight water problem again, we haven’t got any! Just waiting to hear when they can come out and see what the problem is. Hoping to get everything back on time but can’t guarantee it for this week! So sorry to all my clients. I’ll do my best once it’s sorted.

Horses are in for their first night of winter! Earliest ever normally more like middle November!
No rugs needed yet apart from the smart one in the middle with sweet itch, those biters are still out and about!

Remember to get your horses weighed and see how much you can get them to loose over winter. Remember it’s the time for all horses to loose some weight.

Don't forget to get booked in as soon as possible if you would like weighings before winter! Spaces are going quickly for September and October so please drop me a message.

Thank you so much for giving me such a busy Summer!

Unfortunately I’m down a washing machine, I rang them two weeks ago to get it booked in and they forgot to add me to the route!!! Therefore they can’t now get to me until the week beginning 29th July.
I have lots in to wash and I’m getting them done as quickly as I can, even getting up in the night several times to put more on to wash.
I will bring back what I can on Wednesday 24th, and pick up but at the moment I can not guarantee a week turnaround.
I’m so sorry to all my clients for this normal
Service will be resumed as soon as I can.
I will try and make sure any fly/sweet itch rugs are turned around as normal.

Such an amazing service to have around, get your horses booked in so you can keep an accurate record of their weight

Another great group of horses on the weighbridge. I had my youngest horses so far on the weighbridge. The lovely Winny is only 12months! She was amazing though and loved going on the weighbridge! She was a star and even tried to play with it afterwards - great to give her such positive experience at such a young age.
It is so important to track weight changes with foals and unfortunately the weightage is completely useless in this area due to changes in proportions etc. The only way to accurately track young stock's weight change is with a weighbridge!
