Equestrian groundwork services we offer

Our team, equipped with specialised machinery such as power harrows, is dedicated to providing precise groundwork solutions. With years of experience and a deep understanding of equestrian needs, we ensure that your facility is prepared and maintained to the highest standard.

Ménage Construction

We design and construct all-weather ménages, creating durable riding surfaces that stand up to heavy use and all weather conditions. From base preparation to drainage installation, we ensure every element of the menage is expertly crafted. We prepare the base layers, ensuring a well-drained, level surface that can withstand regular use. Whether you opt for a sand, fibre, or rubber surface, we carefully install each layer to create a smooth, safe riding environment for horses and riders.

Gallop Construction and Maintenance

We can create gallops of various lengths and materials, including turf, sand, and synthetic options, tailored to the specific needs of your horses. Maintenance is just as critical as construction. We provide ongoing gallop maintenance services, using our Power harrows to keep the surface level and well-drained, ensuring it remains in optimal condition for training throughout the year.

Stable Construction and Maintenance

We build stables that prioritise the comfort and safety of your horses. Whether you need permanent stables or temporary field shelters, our team will deliver high-quality, robust structures. We handle all aspects of construction, from laying stable foundations to installing water and electrical systems. For existing structures, we offer maintenance services to keep your stables in top condition, ensuring good ventilation, drainage, and durability.

Jump Construction

We understand that quality jumps are essential for training and competition preparation. Our jump construction services include building a range of obstacles, from simple poles and cross-rails to more complex and custom-designed jumps. We ensure all jumps are stable and secure, using durable materials that stand up to repeated use.

Loading Ramps

We construct loading ramps designed to facilitate safe and easy horse transportation. Our ramps are built with non-slip surfaces and stable support structures, ensuring a smooth and secure loading experience for horses and handlers alike.
