Horses are naturally prey animals and their natural response to being worried is to remove themselves from the situation at speed.

In the majority of situations horses are very relaxed and happy but you must always be aware of the above when working around them. We recommend you wear a hard hat at all times when working on the yards and going to fields.

Please keep yards clear of any obstructions in case of loose horses.
