Manor House Stables & Rug Washing

10/01/2025

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!

Another fab yard of horses! With some fab owners who weren't put off by the rain! Lots of discussions about weight and how we can battle this sudden burst of grass growth!

Did you know that a horse can eat 24 hours worth of grass in just 4 hours! They are pros at gorging!

Annoyingly, my phone died so I wasn't able to get pictures of everyone 😔 You will just have to trust me that they all stood like pros on the weigh bridge!

CHANGE OF DAY THIS COMING WEEK!!!
I’ll be over on Tuesday this week as have an appointment in Bridgnorth that day. Hope this is ok for everyone who is booked in. Back to normal on the 22nd.

Running a bit behind today, hit a pothole so just waiting on a new tyre, then I will be with you all

An amazing new portable weighbridge, Hannah will come to you to weigh your horses, great to have an accurate measurement, for supplements, vet appointments, worming, regular weight management for those fatties or skinnies that either need to loose weight or put on, no more inaccurate weigh tapes, what’s not to like, and to top it off they can also collect any rugs that might need washing and drop them off with me!!

26/03/2024

Wow, what a busy week last week, thankfully they are all done and I’ve managed to fit them all in again to bring back tomorrow!

08/03/2024

It’s a Tuesday pick up and drop off again next week (12-3-24) sorry for the change.
Just let me know if you have anything my route is along the B4368 from Anchor covering Church Stretton, to Claverley and lots in between

I would like to wish Jake and Emma from The Willows all the best when they leave at the end of this month. This will mean there will no longer be a drop off point in Ditton, but Mark and Nick at Corvedale Equestrian and also Corve Barn Farm, will happily have the rugs for dropping off and picking up, until I can find an alternative, huge thanks to all at the Willows for taking in the rugs and giving them back out it’s been much appreciated.

Always love it when clients apologise for their dirty rugs.
Just one of a car full of I picked up this week, not sure what’s happened with so many in this week, it’s normally a little quieter until March!!!

Th ask so much every one for your continued support. Remember I’m out every Wednesday for pick up and drop off between Anchor and Claverley! Just message me before hand so I know how many I have incase I need to ask if you can hang on for another week.
