🐎 Stabling & services

At Glover Paddocks we offer a range of high-quality stabling options and professional horse care services, ensuring that every horse receives attentive management, excellent nutrition, and a safe, comfortable environment.

Our goal is simple — happy, healthy horses and confident riders.

. 🐎 Flexible Stabling Options

At Glover Paddocks, we understand that every horse has different needs. For this reason, we offer a variety of comfortable and well-maintained stabling options to suit both horse and owner preferences.

Our stabling options include:

  • Traditional brick stables – spacious, solid and well ventilated
    • Airy wooden stables – providing excellent airflow and a relaxed environment
    • Pony Barn – specially designed for our ponies and younger riders
    • Outdoor open stables – ideal for horses that benefit from fresh air and open environments, particularly those prone to conditions such as colic, tying-up or respiratory sensitivities

🥕 Nutrition & Feeding

This is a vital part of management and safety of your horse. Incorrect feeding can lead to colic, skin conditions, laminitis, bad behaviour, under development, hoof deterioration, and in young horses - accelerated bone growth.

Proper nutrition is a critical component of horse management. We work with qualified nutritionists from our feed suppliers to ensure every horse receives the correct diet

Each horse’s feeding program is tailored according to:

  • Weight
  • Age
  • Workload
  • Breed
  • Temperament

Evening grass
One or two teff nets in the stable as required.

Morning grass
Prior to feeding concentrates as part of our colic prevention program.

Bedding
All clients are requested to purchase stable matting (we arrange this at the lowest possible cost from the EVA factory in Natal). Eva matting is thick, .22m hard-wearing mat that is light to handle and can ensure easy cleaning. The matting is to provide insulation and comfort for your horse whist maintaining a balanced surface for standing up to 12 hours thus reducing the pressure on the limbs, assisting in joint fatigue and preventing allergies from bedding. The stable matting is removed and the stable cleaned and disinfected once a week. Further shavings are provided for extra comfort.

❤️‍🩹 Equine Therapy & Recovery

At Glover Paddocks we believe that soundness, recovery, and preventative care are essential to the wellbeing and performance of every horse. For this reason, we offer access to advanced therapy equipment designed to support our horses’ health, comfort, and recovery.

Vita Floor Therapy

We are fortunate to have a permanent Vita Floor treatment unit stationed at Glover Paddocks. Vita Floor therapy uses controlled vibration technology to stimulate circulation, support muscle relaxation, and promote overall wellbeing. It is particularly beneficial for improving mobility, assisting recovery after exercise, and supporting horses during rehabilitation.

Beemer Therapy

Beemer therapy is also available to our clients free of charge. This advanced German technology stimulates blood circulation at a cellular level, helping to improve oxygen delivery, support muscle recovery, and assist in maintaining overall performance and soundness in competitive horses.

Together, these therapies form part of our holistic approach to horse care, ensuring our horses receive the best possible support for both performance and long-term wellbeing.
