FOR THE TENANTS

Tenants renting stables at the Northern Equestrian Centre are given their own tack/feed area in a locked shed. Those renting paddocks will have their own private feed/tack area adjacent to their stable.

A wash bay (with lights) is central to all stable blocks. Full bathroom amenities, including hot showers, are adjacent to the Indoor Arena. Facilities are provided for making tea and coffee, and soft drinks are available for purchase.

Tenants have access to the all-weather outdoor arenas including the 80m x 60m Showjumping arena and the 60mx 20m Dressage arena. There are also arena lights for those who ride later in the day.

The Indoor Arena is available to Tenants free of charge most weekday mornings prior to 8.00am except when there is a show or clinic booked (there will be a small charge for the use of lights if required). Tenants may also use the Indoor free of charge on Monday evenings between 5.30pm – 7.00pm (lights included). Outside of these times, Tenants may privately book the Indoor Arena for periods of 30 minutes or more at a discounted price.

Tenants can purchase quality feed from the NEC. As well as chaff, oats, lucerne and hay, we sell and recommend the complete range of Horse Power feeds and supplements.

Tenants are asked to keep stables in good order with sawdust bedding and shellgrit in the day yards, at their own cost. Both can be purchased from the NEC.

The NEC property primarily runs on rainwater (filtered), and although there are no restrictions, Tenants are asked to conserve water.

As well as agistment facilities, we offer a wide range of services for the “horse owner”. Long or short-term feeding, stable cleaning, exercising horses, etc can be arranged at any time for a small cost.

If you are interested in agistment, please contact us to organise a mutually convenient time to meet and view the facilities.
