LIVERY

Our services

The farm, under the daily management of Christine Shubrook, offers a range of services for the competitive horse owner, especially those who due to other commitments are not able to tend to their horse on a regular basis. We are an ideal base for the enthusiastic BSJA amateur owner/rider. Our aim is to provide a complete service where you do not have to worry about the wellbeing of your horse. The care of the horses is based on the same formula that we have used for over 20 years for the production of our own competition horses.

Complete livery for the busy person with limited time

The complete livery service is fully comprehensive and provides everything your horse requires to keep it happy and in peak condition, ready for you to ride. The horses have a work program that allows for a variety of work and turn out to keep them fit but happy and relaxed.

The cost of this service includes many things that other 'full' livery service omit. Should your horse need any additional attention due to injury, e.g. cold hosing 6 times a day, hand walking, limited turn out, poulticing, we will see that it is done, there are no extra charges for effort required, to meet the full daily needs of your horse, on the yard. This might be sound too good to be true, but you are welcome to visit and talk with other owners about their experiences of keeping horses with us.

This service means that you truly don’t need to worry about your horse when you are busy with other things. We really do what we say we do!

Christine has put a lot of work into fine tuning my riding and, as a result, we travelled down to Portugal earlier this year to compete in the Sunshine tour and even managed to gain a few placings and we had a great time! As a company director, I need to know that my horses are cared for and ridden properly when I am not there. I can trust Christine and the team to do this which lets me put 100% focus into my work.

Quality care for your horse

Complete Livery Service includes:

Thundry offers the highest level of care and attention to detail to ensure that your horse is kept comfortable and in peak condition. Your horse will be well cared for. It won’t be left under rugged or out in the field when it is raining.

The number of horses is limited to 12 so that facilities and staff are not over stretched.

We have also attained BHS Approval and Excellence award as an independent assessment of the quality of our service.

Horses have a high fibre diet and are fed 5 times a day: 7:30am, 12:30pm, 16:00pm, 17:30pm and then a late check and hayledge at approximately 21:30pm to 23:00pm. We will feed early if you are leaving for a show.

Thundry is lucky enough to be served by one of the best veterinary practices in the UK, The Liphook Equine Hospital. We also have contacts with a number of equine practitioners for horses that need body work to keep them at peek performance. We run a selective worming routine, and our last worm count was negative.

Horses on full livery have an individual weekly work programme which takes into account its needs and what work the owner is planning to do within the week. This ensures every horse has the correct amount of work and a variety. You can do as much or as little with your horse as you wish, we just need to know your plans.

Basic livery for those who can care for and exercise their horse on a daily basis

If you are available to exercise and care for your horse and its kit on a daily basis, 6 days a week, but don’t want the heavy jobs of mucking out or the hassle of ordering feed and shavings, dealing with staff cover, maintaining facilities and other yard duties, then the Basic Livery Service could suit you.

You visit your horse once a day, to perform all the necessary tasks to make your horse comfortable, and then are able to leave knowing that someone is going to be watching over your horse and feeding at regularly times.

One day a week will we 'do' the horse on its day off, giving you a free day.

You will have the advantage of great facilities, on site training, people on hand to cover for routine days off or the odd day you can’t be there and company to ride with.
