What is a Paddock Paradise?

The Paddock Paradise is a concept based on the lifestyle of wild and free-roaming horses, and provides domestic horses with a environment that more closely resembles their natural habitat. Our equines not only reap the benefits of daily movement from one need such as water to another such as food, but additionally benefit from socialisation with other horses, grooming, foraging, playing and generally having the freedom of choice to do as they please. While your horse is with us, we aim to provide them with an environment that contributes to the release of any stress – be it stress from busy yard environments or lack of species interactions – we allow them to just switch off and simply be a horse. We also provide them with companionship and the freedom to move, sleep, eat and play as they choose, all whilst having their diet monitored and managed for those with more complex needs. PB specialises and takes great pride in the care given to those who have complex needs and conditions, treating every horse like our own.

> Laminitis and EMS – With a species appropriate diet in place and daily movement encouraged, our set up is perfect for shifting those unwanted fat pads and excess weight. Our particular set up allows 24/7 turnout without the danger and threat of grass, allowing us to manage their diet without restricting their movement.

> Arthritis, stiffness and injuries – Prioritising daily, consistent movement and a barefoot natural trim allows the hoof and body to function freely, without creating additional soreness, stiffness or swelling through long periods of box rest, minimal movement or the use of shoes.

> Grass Affected issues – Eradicating your horse’s access to grass and ensuring their salt, vitamin and dietary needs are fulfilled, our paddock paradise livery allows horses to socialise, play and move freely without battling metabolic, behavioural, physical or neurological issues that stem from high levels of sugar, potassium and nitrogen.

> Hoof and body rehabilitation – Providing a species appropriate environment, diet and trim stimulates blood flow, aids in new hoof growth and facilitates in increased muscle definition and weight management. We are ideal for those with ongoing issues such as Navicular, Laminitis, on/off lameness, cracks, sore heels, poor quality hoof horn, SI issues, soft tissue injuries, lack of muscle and more.

> Anxiety and resource guarding issues – Many horses struggle with anxiety caused through restricted feed, turnout and isolation or the comings and goings of a busy yard. We pride ourselves on offering a peaceful environment, fulfilling their most basic needs without restriction or pressure. Our liveries have access to 24/7 turnout, socialisation, hay, water and shelter.

> Ulcers and Colic – Facilitating your horse’s need for a constant supply of high fibre in the form of adlib hay and enabling continual movement helps to improve overall gut function and can drastically reduce the occurrence of ulcers as well as decrease the risk of colic.
