Willhayes Equestrian Support Services

General information

Barefoot Forward!
When you ask your horse to put his barefoot forward, he is putting his best foot forward every time! In 2008 after an intensive training programme that took her to the United States as well as all over the UK, Jane qualified as a Natural Hoofcare Practitioner. To learn More about the UKNHCP please visit their website http://www.uknhcp.org/
Jane is building up her client base and covers the County of Devon. If you are looking to go barefoot with your horse or have recently moved to the county Jane would be happy to discuss your hoofcare requirements with you. In addition to travelling to carry out barefoot trims Jane also offers a Transitioning Service at Willhayes Equestrian. Should you decide to remove your horse's shoes, the transitioning period can include a stay at Willhayes under full livery, during which Jane will ensure through feeding and expert care, your horse has the most comfortable change from shod to unshod possible.

Horse Transport Service
Brian offers a fully insured Defra Approved service with the benefit of many years horse transportation experience, using our two purpose built vehicles:
For one or two horses: A 2 horse vehicle with statistically proven more comfortable rear facing travel. This box is fully kitted out for your horse’s safety and comfort and is ideal for shorter trips, or trips of any distance for a single horse. Having a low ramp, this box is ideal for reluctant loaders and our veterinary support work.
For up to four horses: A four horse lorry with live in area and spacious cab, ideal for transporting a number of horses. Why not share the cost of attending an equestrian event and book us for your own horse and your friend’s horses too!
Both vehicles have the advantage of Close Circuit Camera systems allowing all travelling equines to be viewed from the cab, meaning any problems can be quickly spotted and attended to.
Brian is a slow and cautious driver who has a real sense of the impact his manoeuvres have on the horses he is transporting, meaning your precious cargo enjoys as comfortable a ride as possible.
And with GPS Satellite Navigation on board, we wont get lost either!
