REARING FOALS
While the foals are on the mares we monitor the legs and carry out corrective trimming. Should it be necessary and after consultation with the owner we may perform corrective surgery or other farrier procedures. The foals have a large amount of human contact in the paddocks and also whilst the mares are being examined and ultra sounded.

WEANING
Weaning normally occurs from mid February through to mid March, depending on age groups. It's designed to be a no conflict, relaxed experience for both mares and foals. They are both sedated herbally. In this time the weaners are boxed and taught to accept being caught, close human contact, led, groomed, tied up and have their legs picked up.

REHABILITATION
Because of Kim’s involvement as a race track veterinarian and his knowledge of the problems encounted we have a series of horses being rehabilitated from leg injuries and post-surgery. We have a range of facilities from boxes through to small paddocks, plus the staff are well educated to administer prescribed treatments and carry out bandage changing.

RAISING YEARLINGS
As the horses are growing, we continue to monitor their weights and feed accordingly to body weight and pasture availability. Every 6-8 weeks feet trimming and deworming are carried out.
