Horse
Care 4 x 4 m (13 x 13 ft) box with
individual window in an airy American barn. Bedding is deep litter
sawdust, with twice weekly top up. Good quality hay is fed ad lib,
steamed or dry as required. We feed Bailey’s Horse Feeds;
standard ration includes Cool Muesli, Cool Cubes, Chaff and Alfalfa. Other
feeds from the Bailey’s range can be ordered by arrangement and will be
charged at cost. Copper supplementation is included in the feed, all other
supplements must be provided by owners and will be fed according to
instructions. Feed times are as follows: Lunchtime hay if horses are
standing in Worming every 8 weeks. Horses will
not be turned out for 48 hours after worming to reduce worm infestation in
paddocks as much as possible. Turn
out Well-fenced paddocks with ample
grass are available for turn out, depending on the time of year. A Paddock
Vac is used regularly to remove droppings and paddocks are fertilised and
topped during the grazing season as required. If grass is in short supply
hay will be fed in the field. All paddocks have stud railing with offset
electric fencing and a clean water supply. Horses will be turned out in
small, compatible groups or individually if necessary. Should rugs get wet they will be
dried over night on our rug drier. Horses will be turned out every
day by stud staff 7 days a week, weather permitting. If it is too wet or
frosty to turn horses out, we will give them short periods of loose
schooling in the Indoor or Arena 4. Exercise Horses will be put on the walker in addition to daily turn out if required. Please
leave
rugs and boots for your horse
if required and ensure that all tack is in
good and safe condition for our staff and your horse. Tack
room A lockable tack room for all livery clients is provided. Every person sharing has a set of keys and it is the clients' collective responsibility to ensure the tack room is locked. Please note that all tack and equipment is stored there entirely at the owner’s risk. The tack room is protected by an alarm system, linked to a Central Monitoring station. |

GENERAL
INFORMATION Use
of arenas Indoor and outdoor arenas are
available for use throughout the day. During normal hours you will be
expected to share arenas with other riders, please read and observe the
rules that are posted at the entrance to the arenas. Show jumps are available for use.
The Jumps Trailer, carrying a full set of poles and wings is usually
located outside the Indoor Arena and these may be used if required. If you
build a fence or course of fences it is your responsibility to put them
away in the order in which you found them. At no time must the track be
obstructed if other riders are using the arena at the same time. A few wings and poles are located
in Arena 1 & 2, similar rules to their use apply. A permanent set of show jumps is
located in the jumping paddock, these may be moved around as you wish and
do not need to be put away after you ride. Arenas may be closed from time to
time to facilitate competitions and/or clinics. Lessons Visiting trainers are welcome at
Marlton; there is no extra charge for having lessons. However it is not
possible to book an arena for individual use; under exceptional circumstances an outdoor may be
booked but the indoor is only available on a shared basis. All visiting
instructors must have their own insurance, a copy of the policy must be
lodged with Barbara before the first lesson. Lunging Horses may only be lunged in the Outdoor arenas 1, 2 and 4 when no other horses are present unless it is by prior arrangement. Lunging is not permitted in the indoor arena or Arena 3. Lights Lights are provided for your
convenience. If you are last to use the indoor or outdoor arena at night
time, please turn off the lights when you are leaving. Arena 3 is floodlit
and the walkway illuminated, please turn off lights when finished. During
the daytime turn lights on only when absolutely necessary and turn them
off when they are no longer needed. Hacking Hacking on Marlton Farm involves
no roadwork at all. Tobins Farm can be reached via 200 yards on a quiet
back road Bridle paths
are provided around Marlton Farm and Tobin’s Farm. Our
staff will accompany you on hacks by prior arrangement if you wish. We
request that you notify one of us before you go hacking, let us know your
proposed route and approximate time of return. We request that you adhere
to the bridle paths and do not under any circumstances ride through the
corn fields. All gates must be left as you found them. For your own safety
we recommend that you carry a mobile phone when out hacking in the
unlikely event that you may need to summon help. Unless your horse is used
to mobiles phones please ensure it is set on Silent Mode! Notice
Boards A number of notice boards are
located in the feed area for your information. Whatever request you have
for your horse (your next visit, exercise in the interim, shows you wish
to go to, etc.), by writing it down you are enabling us to take better
care of you and your horse. We also use the notice boards to keep you
informed about special events as they affect you and your horse. Car
Park & Security The car park is provided for your convenience. Horse boxes may be parked free of charge and must be parked in the box park provided. All vehicles including unhitched trailers are left there entirely at their owner’s risk. A padlock and chain secures the
