We cant recommend B&W Equine Hospital enough … here is a wonderful post about our own pony Harry who I successfully rehabbed.
It was an incredibly stressful time for us as it is any horse owner, odds where against Harry returning to competition, but we never gave up hope and we didn’t rush any part of his rehab, I’m a firm believer time and patience is the best healer 🫶

Are you having a really tough time with your horse and just need it all to stop and take some time to reset? Both of you?
Well we would love to help!
We offer horses and their owners time to stop the whirl wind of vets bills, stress, yard antics, or is it just a lack of turnout making your horse a crazy monster?, along with multiple confusing opinions, coz let’s face it everyone’s an expert the list goes on.
Here we offer kindness and support to owners reassuring them, that there is always a solution to every situation, be that physically or mentally or both, we will help you find it!
Being a horse owner should be amazing, your time to be happy, time away from the stresses of life, not something that’s affecting your health, your relationship or just your everyday happiness.
We provide a safe, calm, stress free environment for your horse allowing them time to just be a horse and the best thing is they don’t have to compromise their care or anything they are used too ❤️ they and you are our priority.
Sadly I meet too many people who wish they never bought a horse because it’s become nothing short of a nightmare, this makes me incredibly sad. These beautiful animals and our love for them is a gift, loving a horse is not a choice it’s in our DNA, it’s how we are made.
If I can help you in anyway to rekindle your love for horses, and trust in people then please don’t hesitate to contact me - I am ALWAYS on the phone to offer genuine advise and support, I have a wealth of knowledge and firsthand experience, along with a place nothing short of heaven to enjoy with your horse.
The happiness and well being of horses is indeed in my DNA 🫶

🤩🙌🏻🫶 what more could I ask for … fabulous owners and beautiful horses, who wouldn’t work hard for them ❤️
20/08/2024
Who would of thought I’d need to be a shed builder but here I am living it 😆
8 huge new shelters ready to be cladded, designed by us, made by my amazing husband and erected as a family 🙌🏻
We are always reinvesting year on year, improving our facilities to be the best retirement you will find!
These new shelters will insure that there is a shelter in every field and paddock we have here - pretty flipping epic I’d say ! Rain or shine your horses always have everything they need 🫶 we work really hard to make your horses retirement a very happy one!

This is why I love what I do …. Resting, Retired, Rehab or just damn right screwed over, every horse deserves the best it’s just knowing how what where and when, every one is different ….. sometimes owners need some rest and rehab too to be able to overcome bad experiences along with friendship, proper professional support and shared knowledge to try again !
So happy Two Tone Toby will stay with us, he really is a very special little horse and I knew that the first day his hooves hit my yard - feeling very grateful to be trusted when trust has been broken so badly for both horse and rider - the yard he was on along with the vets advise told this owner his horse should be PTS ! 😡♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Beautiful Bertie ….
Bert is our oldest resident (he’s the most unruly old guy😆 that gets to roam the farm)
at the grand age of 33 we think he looks rather 😍
Berts teeth aren’t quiet as good as they used to be, but with regular hard feeding throughout the day and his own special fields grown to ensure he lots of long grass he’s doing pretty well and acts more than half his age 🤩
We love you Bertie Basset 🖤 🤍 this is him last week after a lovely hot bath and degrease of his mane and feathers 🪶

Home grown is always best …… nothing but the very best for our retirment liveries 😍

𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: "Honestly if you want to sleep at night knowing your horse has the best care , in an environment that has been specifically designed for Resting , Retired or Rehab horses then it’s Elite with Jess and her family. They love and care for each horse as if it’s there own . Moving my retired horses so far away from me was really difficult but they are so happy with Jess and it’s the absolute best place for them . I have had four horses with Jess, from grass livery through to stabled and its amazing . Happy horses"

𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: "My younger horse went to Jess in June for a year to rest. He’s so happy and well cared for. It’s a big relief not having to worry about him. Jess sends regular messages and videos of him and they have very happy herds. I’m so happy with them that my old special boy is going to. He’ll have the best retirement possible. Jess caters for all individual needs as if they were her own. I absolutely recommend this place to anyone who wants their horses look after in the best possible way."

Because we can never care enough ….. 💚
Not sure who’s happier to see Merlot feeling much better and like a youngster again …. Merlot himself or me 😍
🥰HAPPY POST 🥰This lovely mare came to live with us last year, she had many health issues but her severe laminitis was her biggest threat to life.
It’s been a long hard journey for her and me, some days where very sad. But with alot of commitment and individual care, seeing this girl so happy and enjoying her retirement makes me burst with a little self pride (I’m not good at that!) and her owner is very grateful ☺️
I’m pleased to say that she is very sound, enjoys paddock time, hasn’t used her nebuliser once since last summer (which is a small miracle in itself) or her inhalers and despite what everyone told me she’s alive and living her best life !
I’m very happy to take on any rehab liveries as well as our permanent retired residents and would love to help in any way I can - big or small ….
Thanks to this wonderful weather ☀️ we have our final availability now ready for 2 Retirement GRASS Liveries to join our home ….. dm or call for info 07786133497
Beautiful horses that have come to live with us from Norway 🇳🇴

Who are we ?....
Our home near the Devon/Cornwall border offers a purpose-built 6 box yard for Equine Rehabilitation and Post Operative Care. Surrounded by its own 45 acres of land, provides a perfectly tranquil yard for the rehabilitating equine. We are very private but easily accessible. Providing a number of treatment options for either inpatients or day visitors. We cater for horses requiring a bespoke treatment program.
Run by Jess Crocker with the support to her husband and young son Harvey. Jess has spent her life working with horses, with 25 years experience in running yards for Racehorses, Eventers and Hunters and most recently producing young horses for Eventing. Jess currently enjoys being hands on with the fitness work of her International Event horse Biscuit. Her passion has always been to provide the highest standard of stable management with around the clock care to ensure that any horses in her care are as fit and well as they can be at all times. Burscott Farm is the family home and as such allows Jess to provide home from home care to ensure the highest standard of attention for every horse we have to stay.
The rehabilitation programme for all of our residents will be overseen by our expert Sally Cinnamond; Chartered Physiotherapist, MCSP, HCPC, Veterinary Physiotherapist, ACPAT Cat A, who as an integral part of our team will be able to provide a full range of therapeutic options including:
