Welfare

At Westway Carriages we make sure attention to detail is present in all we do and that is why presentation and preparation of our horses is very important to us. We continuously ensure our team of horses are fit, healthy, and trained to excellence, and we have a dedicated team of staff ensuring their stable conditions are maintained to the highest standard, their welfare is our priority.  

These standards include but are not limited to having our horses shod once every four weeks by a reliable and trusted farrier to always ensure a comfortable fit.   

Having an equine dentist visit our stables several times a year to check our horses are happy and healthy and carry out any work that may be needed to ensure they are always comfortable and happy.  

Regular shower times, as most horses love water and there is nothing like a nice shower to relax aching muscles. The solarium is ideal for preparing horses for the show ring, wedding days or promotional work. The lighting in the solarium emits heat creating a comfortable environment for the horses.
