Horse loading practise
The loading practise service, provides the use of our horsebox for you to practise loading at your yard. We also provide loading and travel equipment. An attendant schooled in Parelli Natural Horsemanship, IH & Monty Roberts techniques will be on hand to offer tips and advice, to develop effective techniques for loading your horse.
The service includes loading, unloading and travelling short distances.
Tailor made packages, to suit your individual needs, can be arranged. We can incorporate a number of horses into a session so if you are a yard manager and feel this may suit your liveries, please call for more details.

Zilco Lycra Pacifier
We routinely carry amongst the usual items of equine tack, a Zilco Lycra Pacifier.
The pacifier is a mesh eye half cup lycra hood with elastic touch tape straps with clips for adjustment. As its name suggests it has a remarkable calming effect on horses. It works by restricting the horse's vision to the rear and the side, like a sophisticated blinker.
The equine eye is the largest of any land mammal. Its visual abilities are directly related to the animal's behaviour, the fact that the horse is a flight animal.
Both the strengths and weaknesses of the horse's visual abilities should be taken into consideration when training the animal to load and travel, as an understanding of the horse's eye can help to discover why the animal behaves the way he/she does in various situations.
Not widely used in the Europe, pacifiers are popular in Australian racing circles and we have found that they work better than blindfolds and significantly reduce stress levels (for both horse and handler) during difficult loading situations.
