Board with Us
At Trilby Stables we believe in friends, forage and freedom for our horses. Where possible, we try and incorporate the elements of the 3Fs into your horse’s daily care to meet their fundamental needs. All horses receive daily turnout as well as access to pastures during grazing season. Extras such as blanketing, feeding of grain and fly care are included in our care package at no extra cost.
Friends
Horses are highly social animals and, as such, socialization with other horses is a vital part of their day-to-day life. Our horses are turned out as part of a herd so they can feel safe and build social bonds.
Forage
Horses benefit from constant access to hay for several reasons related to their digestive system and overall health. We provide continued access to hay to help maintain a healthy digestive environment, prevent ulcers and promote proper gut function. 24/7 access to forage allows our horses to naturally graze and consume forage throughout the day, mirroring their natural feeding patterns and promoting mental well-being.
Freedom
Freedom of movement is important for horses’ physical and mental well-being. We provide daily herd turnout in dry lot and/or pasture. ‘Freedom’ doesn’t just mean freedom to move – it also means freedom of choice. Being turned out in a group of horses also provides some element of choice in how they chose to free exercise, who they spend the majority of their time with, which other horse(s) they might play with, who they might mutually groom, rest alongside, etc.
