Horse Sitting Service
Introduction:
A friendly and reliable service, I offer the peace of mind for you to go on holiday, go away on business or simply attend to your horse (s) when you have been delayed at work.
A phone call is all that is needed to be rest assured that all your equine needs will be catered for and life will carry on as normal for your horse.
I will come to your stables, yard or barn as many times a day as requested by you to provide daily care so allowing your horse (s) routine to stay the same.
My services cover everything from picking your horses feet out to exercising and health checking your animals as per your instruction.
Moving your horse to a livery yard and changing routine, causes stress, I come to you to avoid this.
I have full Public Liability Insurance and Police Checked to keep your mind at ease.
With myself looking after your horse and any other small animals that are on site, you can come home safe in the knowledge that your animals will be well cared for and safe.
I offer a free, no obligation initial visit, where I will visit you and your horse (s). The purpose of this visit is for you to feel comfortable with me around your animals and that your animals feel safe with me as well.
If you are happy with me I will complete my forms detailing exactly what you require. If you turn your horse out at 8am and collect him back in again at 6pm then that is what will happen. I will also need emergency phone numbers for your Farrier and vet and any other phone numbers for you while you are away. A non refundable 10% deposit or 1 day flat fee will be required to finalise your specific dates at this time.
Before you go:
3 Days before you go away I will contact you to make sure everything is still ok and there is nothing else for me to be aware of.
While you are away:
Everything that has been discussed before you went away will be performed. If requested regular updates can be given - I will not mind in the least if you contact me to see how everything is getting on at any point of the day!
When you get home:
I will continue to care for your animals until contact has been made to assure me and your horse (s) that you are back and ready to continue their care
I request that the remaining 90% (or balance) be paid within the following 7 days of your return date.
Other animals:While my love is to look after Horses, I will also tend to other animals that may need looking after as well on site including the following:
Cats, Dogs, Rabbits, Guineapigs, Goats, Chickens, Fish.
