Horse Stables in the UK

A Horse Stable is a place in which horses are usually kept. In the instances where peoples horses are not left in fields to graze all day, most horses are kept overnight and during a lot of the day in stables.  Due to the United Kingdom’s long-lasting heritage of using horses for many jobs over thousands of years, whether they be for recreational use or labour, dotted all around the country there are thousands of horse stables.

Unfortunately due to the decrease in demand for horses over the last century, with the invention of the motorcar and other engine-powered machines, the need for horses in Britain has changed hugely. Horse Stables in the UK no longer serve so many horses that are used for labour work, such as pulling carts and traps, or carrying out work in farms, and as a result, the main usage for horse stables has changed.

In the past, many horse stables were owned by a single wealthy family, whose horses were all kept in the stables where they were fed, groomed and exercised. This meant that a large number of the horse stables at the time were situated within large estates or even mansions, with lots of land surrounding the stables where the horses could be ridden.

More recently, most stables have still been privately owned, but they’re owned by businesses, and the majority of them serve horses for recreational use from many different customers. The stables no longer serve just one family, and instead may serve several to a couple of dozen families, depending on the stables’ size.

Currently, the use of large stables is declining; those people with horses are often opting now to fit their own small stables into the field they keep their horse, which seems to suggest that the age of the large public horse stables in the UK is coming to an end.

If you would like to obtain a horse stables for your own horse, contact Jon William Stables, who can supply horse stables of many different kinds to you, depending on your needs.

Help prevent dehydration with field shelters

Dehydration is the loss of water and salts from the body which are essential for the body to function properly. Dehydration happens when not enough fluids are taken in, in comparison to those which are lost. This could be through excessive sweating, participating in strenuous exercise and even from being unwell. Staying outside in the sun for prolonged periods of time is also a prominent cause of dehydration. However, it is not only humans that suffer from dehydration as many animals can also effect as well.

As humans, we are usually able to manage our hydration levels by drinking when thirsty and staying out of sun when it is hot. Our bodies also function very well in cooling us down – or there are many mechanical aids including air conditioners and fans to give our bodies that helping hand. For horses it is not as simple.

Horses are large animals that cannot control their own body temperature as well as a human, partially due to the high proportion of heat produced from large muscles in the body when performing any physical exercise. The one way that horses are able to reduce their overall body temperature is through sweating. This process is usually excessive – especially during strenuous exercise – meaning that far more water and salts are lost than what the horse will take in. This is heightened in hot and humid conditions. By keeping your animal cooler, with round the clock access to shade, the need to sweat would be reduced, making it far less likely for the animal to become dehydrated.

Fieldshelters could help to provide shade in paddocks during the warmer summer months. These shelters can usually be designed specific to your requirements, with options for large overhanging canopies and multiple windows for improved ventilation. Some companies offer mobile field shelters, making them easy to reposition, depending on the suns direction into the field, to give optimum shade throughout the day.

Storage Ideas with Stables for Sale UK

A horse is known for needing lots of care and attention to keep them happy. With this comes plenty of equipment from riding tack to grooming and feed which is all necessary to maintain a horse. Not only is this equipment fairly expensive, but the large bulk is often difficult to store – especially if it needs to be easily accessible.

Finding a storage option that can easily accommodate such a large amount of equipment and store it in a convenient way is often very difficult. Designing your own storage space may be just the alternative to ensure all of your needs are met.

Companies such as Jon William’s Stables offers a wide variety of stables forsales in the UK which can be uniquely tailored in design specific to your storage needs.

Field Shelter for Sale in the UK

Field shelters for sale throughout the UK are on the rise. But why would I need a field shelter, you ask? If you don’t own a horse, pony or a similar kind of animal then you probably don’t, or at least not for the purpose it was intended for (they may make a nice place to store a quad though). However if you do own a lovely animal companion of the previous description, then you may find a field shelter very useful indeed.

What is a field shelter? It’s a simple yet permanent wooden structure that can either be fixed into a concrete foundation, or else used with a handy-dandy foundation back to help keep it secured to the floor.

The primary use of such shelters is found more or less in the name, they’re shelters that you place on the field. Cheap and lightweight, they’re easy to assemble and cheap to purchase.

Field shelters tend to be fairly simple in their build, and are not really intended to serve as an alternative to stables. Rather, they’re more a place for animals to be sheltered during wet or stormy weather, or else as a temporary shelter while stables are being cleaned out or repaired. This makes them ideal for building up additional space to keep animals in, although that’s not all they can be used for.

Another use that people looking for field shelters for sale often find in such objects is for additional storage space. Field shelters are fairly large and spacious; as a result they make it ideal for storing large objects or objects that must be stored in large quantities. Things such as bales of hay, bags of feed, equipment for cleaning the stables and whatnot can be stored in field shelters where they will be kept safe and dry.

This is much easier and cheaper than forking out to pay for the construction of a new single-purpose barn or hayloft. Bear in mind that field shelters are permanent structures, and so will need planning permission before they can be built. Make sure that you have all the relevant paperwork before purchase.

Timber Stables on the Move -- The Pros and Cons

A good functioning stable is essential for the care and health of your horse. It is where your horse is sheltered, its food is kept, and the equipment needed for its care is stored away and put to use. However sometimes a permanent stable is not always possible, whether it’s because you do not actually own the field in which it’s kept or planning permission for a permanent structure is hard to acquire. Temporary timber stables, thus, can be a practical and cheap solution to the problem of providing adequate housing for your horse.

What are the main advantages of a temporary timber stable, then? One of the largest ones is the cost. Because a timber stable is made out of cheap and lightweight materials, for the simple reason that the stables is not intended to be a permanent structure, it can be bought and assembled at a much lower cost than a stable stable (excuse the pun). For example you can acquire a relatively simple timber stable for only a few thousand pounds, whereas a more established stable with fixed foundations and more heavy materials could well cost you tens of thousands of pounds. The fact that it’s so lightweight means that it’s very easy to assemble and disassemble, usually requiring no more than five people, some power tools and a day.

The second advantage behind a mobile stable is just that -- its mobile. This makes it ideal for horse owners who do not own their own field and may have to move around their horse frequently as they search for one they’d like to rent long term, or until they can afford one of their own. A mobile timber stables can easily be disassembled and placed onto a trailer for transportation to a new field, or else given wheels if the distance is not so great.

There are of course disadvantages to owning a temporary stable, the largest being that they are not suitable for prolonged inhabitation by your horses. Eventually the materials will start to wear and break down, especially if your horse has the habit of kicking at your stable walls or door when bored, frightened or frustrated. This will mean replacing, which in the long run will be more expensive than actually building a permanent structure. They are also not suitable for your horses -- consider staying for prolonged periods in a timber stables the equivalent of spending several months living in a camping tent. A temporary structure is only intended to be used until a more suitable structure can be found or erected.

The History of Stables

Stables are found throughout the world and are are used daily by many people, at one point they were a vital part of a household. Historically, stables are the second oldest building type on the farm with free standing stables beginning to be built from the 16^th century and were built the closest to the house. The main reason for this was because horses were extremely valuable. Horses would plough the field, fertilise crops and act as a means of transportation. 

Over the years, horses were seen as less essential with technology replacing much of their use. This then saw the decline of stables and slowly they began to disappear from houses. However, this decline in the working horse saw more people take pleasure in horses and ride and train them as leisure items and as hobbies. This trend has seen stables come back from the brink and again fill the countryside.

Horse stables nowadays can be found in far more elaborate styles and are far stronger and more versatile due to the material used nowadays. The use of the space provided by stables are also far more practical making room for the vast array of equipment and tools now available for making horse care easier and simpler.

There are various places where you can find horse stables for sale in the UK. One example of this is through the stable company, Jon William Stables.
