The horses in our care.

Rehabilitation, retraining and the time each horse needs to get there.

Rehabilitation

Listening to the horse first.

Most thoroughbreds arrive carrying something — old strains, sore backs, mental tightness from years of routine. Our rehab programme starts with a thorough assessment by our veterinary chiropractor, then builds out a plan that treats the horse as an individual.

  • Equissage massage therapy
  • Veterinary chiropractic and physiotherapy
  • Long, generous turnout
  • Tailored feed plans and farriery
  • Slow, careful re‑introduction to ridden work

There is no fixed timeline. Some horses are ready to start under saddle in weeks. Others need months of decompression first. We let the horse decide.

Retraining

Building a new way of going.

Racing fitness and ridden work are very different things. Retraining is about giving the horse the time, the suppleness and the confidence to move forward in a new shape — whether that’s working long and low on the flat or jumping their first cross‑country fence.

Every retraining plan is tailored. Quiet horses get more challenge. Sharp horses get more patience. The aim is always the same: a thoroughbred who feels good in their body and curious about the work.
