Norwood Agistment Farm
Norwood Agistment Farm is a small irrigated farm of just over 100 acres, we have been in operation here since 2007. Prior to that we ran a smaller 50 acre agistment property on Two Chain Rd Burnham, which we started back in 1992. We specialise in horses of all types, from short term holiday stays,spelling racehorses, retirees, youngstock and sporthorses. A small herd of Angus cattle is used to cross graze paddocks and to clean up before and after the horses. We grow our own hay and balege and have a variety of types available, from special hay for the fatties/laminitics to a better quality for the fussier models. In the herd situation we use either medium squares or rounds, so that they can pick as they want throughout the 24 hours. Our paddocks are generally of a good size 5 - 6 acres suitable for small herds of similar horses and their requirements, but also have available smaller paddocks for 1 or 2 horses for the short term or special needs. We have double fencing between paddocks, to minimise the chance of horses kicking through fence at a neighbouring horse. We also have areas/yards for horses who need keeping off grass. If you are wanting to ride, we are a rural area and there is plenty of room to wander around the lanes on the farm Myself(Fran) started my relationship with horses over 45 years ago, coming from a non horsey background, but going to school with kids who rode, skied & played piano, when I informed my father I wanted either piano lessons or riding lessons, he decided it was easiest to send me for a couple of riding lessons and the rest is history. In that time, I have had a wide range of experience with many different horses and in many different situations with them, my aim is too make the place as safe as possible.
