Stable & Yard Equipment
Behind every well-kept horse is a well-run yard.
Behind every well-kept horse is a well-run yard. From water buckets and feed bins to mucking-out tools and storage, the right yard equipment makes daily care quicker, safer and more hygienic.
Choose hard-wearing, easy-to-clean kit that stands up to constant use, and keep the yard tidy, a clear, organised yard is a safer one.
Feeding and watering
Sturdy buckets, a reliable water supply and secure, vermin-proof feed storage are the basics. Clean buckets and feed bowls regularly to keep water fresh and feed safe.
Mucking out
A good fork, shovel, broom and barrow make mucking out faster and easier on your back. Pick out droppings regularly to keep beds clean and reduce waste.
Safety around the yard
Keep walkways clear, store tools safely, and make sure gates, ties and fastenings are sound. A tidy, well-maintained yard reduces the risk of accidents to horses and people.
