Unfortunately we cannot get any temporary stables this year . We will be using nearby yards as overflow. Straw bedding is provided. We will endeavour to stable as many horses on the showground as possible & will be using field shelters. You may pen your horses safely at the side of your horsebox. We have penning available in barns if required @ £5 per pen—please phone me to discuss this option . If you required SHAVINGS , please bring your own or can be purchased if pre booked at a price of £6 per bag.
Please muck stables out if you have time as this will help us to keep the stabling costs to a minimum .
