Friesian Yard Experience

Are you curious about how the horses spend their days and just what it is we do to provide them exceptional care? Join us on the yard as we go
about whatever the day requires. Every day, we assess each horse as part of their individual health and wellness plans. Depending on what that assessment finds, dealing with those issues can reorder the day’s priorities. When you join us on the yard, you’ll no doubt experience some of the routine—feeding, bathing and grooming, groundwork in the arena. You may also catch a visit by one of our Partners-in-Care team: our farrier, Chris, custom-fitting new shoes, or our physiotherapist, Jenny, or chiropractor and craniosacral therapist, Rachel, assessing and helping work out some of the physical kinks. You might even catch our veterinarian, Sam Galloway, floating one of the horses' teeth or conducting a physical exam. And be assured, those horses free-reining the yard that day will assume you’re there to give them cuddles and scratches, if you’re so inclined! You’ll have the opportunity to ask any questions—about the Friesian breed, our individual free-reiners, their care plans, our facilities—whatever interests you most, all while surrounded by the beautiful environs of Greenbank Farm and the Cartmel Valley.
