Grounds, Fencing & Infrastructure
Equestrian fencing, grounds and maintenance you can plan for
We plan and organise the upkeep of your equestrian property, including horse-safe fencing, stables and barns, arenas, tracks, water supplies and drainage.
- Horse-safe fencing and gates
- Arena and surface upkeep
- A planned maintenance schedule
Overview
Why plan maintenance instead of fixing things as they break?
A broken rail, a loose strand of wire or a frozen trough can injure a horse or leave it without water. Worn arena surfaces and blocked drains cause problems too. Small faults that are left alone tend to turn into big, expensive ones.
We start with a survey of your property and agree the priorities with you. Then we set up a maintenance schedule so jobs are done before they become urgent. We find, brief and supervise reliable contractors, and check the work before it is signed off.
Planned maintenance also makes costs easier to predict. You know what is coming up over the next year and can budget for it.

FAQs
Common questions about grounds & fencing
Can’t see your question? Try our main FAQ page or ask us directly.
Do you carry out the work yourselves?
We manage and coordinate the work, using trusted specialist contractors for fencing, building, groundworks and arena surfaces. You get the right skills for each job and one point of contact.
Can you help with a new arena or stable block?
Yes. We can help you work out what you need, get quotes, coordinate with designers and planning consultants where needed, and oversee the project through to completion.
Do you offer winter preparation?
Yes. Frost protection for water supplies, gateway and track improvements, gutter and drainage checks and storm preparation are all part of our seasonal schedules.
What type of fencing is safest for horses?
Post and rail is popular because it is easy for horses to see and has some give. Electric fencing works well for dividing fields. Barbed wire is not recommended for horses. The right choice depends on your fields, your horses and your budget, and we can advise on each case.
