We can take your Greenfield site and transform it into your ideal equestrian complex.

We undertake all major earthworks and landscaping, concrete stable base, hard standing, parking, services, drainage and fencing to produce a facility to your exact requirements. We have made many valuable contacts within the timber and steel framed stabling sector over the years, whom we can liaise with during the project. We have built such complexes for personal use, right though to newly established top class livery yards. With our wealth of knowledge from previous projects, we can provide design tips and ideas to assist you in achieving a dynamic, quality and cost effective complex for years to come.

We provide a range of fencing services for the equestrian, agricultural and domestic sectors.

With our dedicated fencing equipment allow us to erect high quality, durable stock fences quickly and efficiently, which allows us to be very competitive. Which is why we have build up a large customer base from livery yards, to large charity organisations such as RSPB.

We have made many relationships within the land-based industries for providing a high quality fencing service. Whether it be agricultural stock fencing, badger fencing through to specialist equine fences such as Duralock or centaur hot rail.

With over ten years in the fencing industry we can help provide design tips for paddock layout, gate location etc as well as advising the client on all the different fencing options that are available. Not many years ago there was not a lot of option for equestrian stock fencing, but now there are a wealth of different options to suit different requirements and budgets.

We specialise and pride ourselves in our equestrian post and rail fencing, using quality pressure treated timber to produce a sturdy, long term fence.

All posts are machine driven into the ground ensuring each one withstands the test of time, unlike the augering method which can make the post loose and therefore shortening the life expectancy of the fence. All timber is FSC certified and guaranteed to give the wow factor to any property.

Galvanised wire, stock proof fences. Options include standard high tensile sheep netting up to specialist horse netting which provide a very strong, sturdy barrier. The design of the netting prevents horses hooves getting stuck in the gaps between the line and stay wires, which can be a problem with non specific netting. We also like this fence, because it keeps dogs etc out and possibly sheep in as well. All high tensile stock fences are installed using large diameter strainers allowing us to mechanically pull the wire tight, and it will stay tight for years to come.

Composite rail system which combine high tensile galvanised steel line wires with a coated polymer shell provide the forefront of equestrian fence. It also has the facility to be energised to prevent the stock even making contact with this unbelievably strong and durable fence.

Duralock fencing systems provide the ideal accompaniment for your gallop, or exercise track, this UV resistance UPVC fencing system has been specifically developed for safety in mind, allowing the fence to absorb the force rather than transfer it through the horse. Please see our recently completed gallop in the case study for more information.

We also offer gates of any size, supplied and fitted by ourselves, from a standard field gate in timber or galvanised steel to a more decorative entrance gate to create the ideal finishing touch to personalise your property.

Planning requirements can be quite detailed and we have found that most planning departments are approachable, so in the first instance give them a ring and ask their advice about your particular requirements.

All planning applications will normally require scale drawings of the proposal, together with scale drawings of the site in question – including any significant changes in level, a location plan of the area in question and also quite importantly written supporting information regarding the detail of the application, its effect on the surroundings and your neighbours and how it meets the requirements of the local planning policies. Some planning departments need more information than that mentioned above, usually if you ask them what they need, they’ll tell you. Once an application package has been prepared and you’ve made the application, then you’ll need to wait around 8 weeks for a decision to be given, so please remember to work that into your programme.

Whilst we are happy to give you advice on various things, we are not planning experts and we’d always recommend that as well as speaking to your local planning department, it’s well worth considering discussing things with an equestrian planning consultant or equestrian architect about any potential planning issues. The organisation who we reccomend are Equestrian Design; based in Warrington, Cheshire. They cover all of the country and have an excellent track record of successful applications.
