” Back to Being a Horse Again”

Rockstead Farm offers a superb long-term home for grass-kept Resting or Retired horses, with our Retirement Livery. Horses come to live with us due to various reasons. They may be unsound or unsafe to ride, or now elderly. Many owners of long-term retired horses cannot attend daily, due to other commitments, so we step in to provide routine care.

All horses are checked daily and a log is recorded for our records.  Hay is fed between December until end of March. Extra Forage Option of constant hay / haylage feeding is also available. Most of our horses manage well on a small amount of hay feeding during this period, due to good grassland management practices. Seasonal specific care is given throughout the year from fly hats to mud fever prevention!
