Start Your Business on the Right Foot with Bespoke Horse Stables

Livery yards can offer long stay boarding for equestrian animals. With stables, outdoor land for grazing and, in some liveries, riding schools; livery yards should offer excellent facilities to help with the care of horses. Livery staff should be on hand to care for the horse including feeding, grooming and exercise. Many horse owners will choose to board their animals in livery yards to ensure the best care and attention is given when it is not possible to do so themselves. If you are thinking of starting a livery yard, there are some fundamentals that you must get right to ensure the animals are content and, with that, build a successful business.

Stabling areas are one of the most important aspects to get right. Whether you are looking to house a small number of horses or are looking at larger scale complexes, owners will expect quality and safety to ensure their animals are well looked after. Horse stables should provide comfortable space for the animal to rest as well as ample space to house tack and feed.

Wood Stables – Designed for your Horse

Looking after a horse has got to be considered as one of the most demanding animals, but is sure to be one of the most rewarding. From grooming these animals to looking after their feed and ensuring a daily exercise regime; keeping a horse well looked after is no easy task. With lots of dedication and time being put into looking after your animal, it can sometimes be easy to forget that their stables also need to be well maintained. Choosing a good quality stable from the beginning should be as important as keeping a horse well fed! With a huge range of stables to choose from, deciding on the best option for your horse may be overwhelming. One popular option is a wood stable.

Wood Stables from Jon William Stables

Wood stables can be a great way to keep your horse happy. They can be designed specifically around your needs and budgets – from the more basic models to bespoke stables designed to suit your unique requirements. With thanks to the flexibility of wooden constructions, wood stables can include tack rooms and storage areas – great for feed and hay – as well as offering specification windows and doors of various sizes. 

The stables are usually fitted with guttering as standard to help protect the wood against rainfall; however other variations of guttering can be added depending on your requirements. Wood stables can also be built with a canopy design – ideal for the colder, wetter months to allowing you space to continue to work on your animal. When designed by a reputable company, you can also expect a number of additional extras for your stable included as standard which can help to protect against the elements including splash back skirts, roof lining and damp proofing.

Some companies, such as Jon William Stables, use Scandinavian wood cladding – known for its rigidity and durability against all weathers – to ensure a stable that will withstand against time. Wood stables are usually made with tantalised timbre – which is a treatment process using high pressure to coat the wood with a protective substance that can withstand fungal rot and even insect infestation.
