Peta's Place Equestrian Centre We pride ourselves on being more than a livery yard. We care for your complete horse, whether you ar I had a dream. I have been blessed to create such a place.

I wanted my horses to live like horses in a relaxed environment while still enjoying the comforts that they were accustomed to. All the horses are weighed on a regular basis and fed according to their requirements with oathay, lucerne, teff and whichever concentrate suits them best. horses were designed to eat roughage and lots of it. if there isn't food left in the morning it means they need more

. we weigh all their food so we can monitor how many kilo's they are eating. All our horses live in camps with grazing, either in mixed herds or single gender herds depending on who they are. With us, the horse's wellbeing comes first. They need to be well conditioned physically and mentally. We have managed to secure the best professionals to work at our yard, Kevin Dodd, the Baker McVeigh team, Jonathan Perkin, Shannon Petitaund, Julie Lustgarten and Jj. My passion is nutrition and many hours are spent working on the best possible feed for every horse. i believe that horses should spend as much time as possible outside regardless of the weather and that routine is king. we have a variety of clients from youngsters to retired horses and everyone in between. Listening to the blue cranes and fish eagles while watching the various herds interact makes my dream a reality.

Honour the Guest was a grade 1 winner and is in weekend work but just blossoming.
Apologise was bought many years ago from Gary Matodes who owned Camelot Riding School. He is fully retired.

On hot days, well every day in summer, our horses get watermelon after supper. Once everyone is groomed and temped, buckets of watermelon are carried around and fed with great excitement. I love it πŸ¦„β€οΈ

There was a post recently regarding how difficult it is for passionate grooms to say goodbye to 'their' horses. I think this picture says it all. πŸ€— One of our babies leaves tomorrow for backing xx

Their one. My one
Mine is the ingenious triangle to stop horses throwing the roughage out πŸ˜‚
Theirs is the perfect square that is in alignment πŸ‘Œ

I've been told before by prospective clients that my yard is too big and they don't like to walk to fetch their horses. Well, Kathy just calls her two youngsters ❀️

And just like that, the farm went green ❀️

There are a few horses that I have cared for for a very long time ❀️ Hunter is one of them and he walks up with Gussie and Billy and then his lead is tucked in and I call him and we walk to his stable together ❀️❀️❀️

I am grateful for many things in my life but my carers consistently outdo themselves by just going above and beyond. It's almost 10pm and my first night shift has been assisting my all night shift with blankets for the outside horses who were too warm to be blanketed earlier.There is rain coming early morning. First night shift and poo check carer is supposed to finish at 8pm.

The oldest horse on the farm, our darling Jinx ❀️❀️ His knees were injected this week to help them bend, and he gets bemered every night to keep everything moving. We have almost lost him a few times but at 40 plus, he still escapes from his paddock and goes for walks, he still breaks into our arena during lessons to 'help', and he still has so much character and life β€οΈπŸ’œ

Carrots are very boring and apples aren't great for horses, watermelon season has ended but BEETROOT season has started πŸ‘πŸ‘ all our horses love raw beetroot. It is high in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals and fibre.

A giggle this evening as our first night shift dished out some soaked cubix and speedibeet to 4 of our toothless wonders at 18.30, the day shift asked what is that meal called because they already get breakfast, lunch, supper and late night.... We decided it is called dessert πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
Feeding horses who have limited molars isn't easy, little and often and roughage that is small enough to smoosh without too much chewing.
