Equine Therapy Centre The Equine Therapy Centre offers treatment and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal conditions using a combination of the most up-to-date facilities, physical therapy and techniques in veterinary medicine. Facilities include a high-speed treadmill, Aqua-fit water treadmill, heart rate monitors, weighbridge, solarium, electrotherapy and Zamar (cold and compression) machine. Horses that are registered on our ‘demo’ horse scheme can be exercised on the water treadmill and/or high speed treadmill by experienced staff at no extra cost to the livery owner whilst being used for demo purposes. All facilities are used at the horse owner’s own risk. Rider Performance We work closely with a number of rider performance specialists and offer a range of services including simulator hire, rider performance clinics and simulator lessons with our local instructors.

Feed ordering We’re able to offer all students discounted rates on Baileys horse feed. You can place your order through the online shop by 12pm on Tuesday for delivery the same after Thursday: www.hartpury.ac.uk/shop We ask that students collect their feed promptly on the Thursday from the yard feed room.

Baileys advisors visit the yard on a regular basis and are able to give individual diet recommendations for your horse. Please speak to the yard manager if you would like to make an appointment with a Baileys advisor. Farrier We have a yard farrier, Nick Partridge, who visits each week. Appointments can be booked via the yard office and must be booked by Tuesday morning of each week for a visit the following day. Payments must be made either in advance or in person on the day. There are also a number of local farriers who provide an excellent service. Telephone numbers are available at the back of this guide or through the yard office. Please book your horse’s initial shoeing as early as possible to avoid disappointment, as these farriers are in great demand. All farriers require the student to be present

All Hartpury students can volunteer in our Rider Performance Centre as well as have an induction on how to use the simulators free of charge. Please contact riderperformance@hartpury.ac.uk to discuss.
