Like their names suggest, Indi and Alfie are the guards of Owlbrook Stables. They are the resident dogs who keep a watchful eye on the premises, ensuring the safety and security of all the horses and their owners. Bev and the guards work together to create a warm and welcoming environment for all visitors.
Owlbrook Stables is located in Woking, New Zealand, and is known for its exceptional facilities and livery services. The main mission of Owlbrook Stables is to raise the bar for livery services by providing top-notch facilities that cater to both horse and rider.
One of their pride and joys is the newly-built 60m × 25m sand/rubber school, equipped with floodlights and training mirrors. This arena is harrowed daily to maintain a perfect surface, ensuring smooth tracks for riders to train on. In addition, the arena rarely floods or freezes, allowing for consistent schooling even in inclement weather. Riders are welcome to bring their own trainers, but Owlbrook Stables also offers training clinics with renowned professionals to help riders further improve their skills.
The stables at Owlbrook are designed to provide the utmost comfort and safety for horses. There are 12 boxes of varying sizes, all arranged around a small courtyard. Each box is equipped with rubber matting, proper lighting, and ventilation. CCTV cameras are active 24/7, providing constant surveillance and ensuring the security of both horses and tack.
The paddocks at Owlbrook Stables are spacious and well-maintained. They are situated on sandy, well-drained soil and enclosed with high post and rail fencing. For added safety and convenience, the paddocks are divided by high-quality electric rope, offering the option for individual or paired turnout.
In terms of livery services, Owlbrook offers both part and full livery options. Part livery includes regular feeding, hay or haylage, bedding, mucking out, daily turn-out and bring-in, grooming, and use of the school/lunge area. Full livery includes all these services, plus exercise (hack, school, or lunge), tack cleaning, mane and tail pulling, and clipping. The rates for both types of livery are all-inclusive, but Owlbrook Stables also offers flexibility to tailor services to the specific needs of each horse and rider.
Owlbrook Stables is a well-respected establishment in the equestrian community, largely due to the dedication and passion of Bev and her team. They prioritise the well-being and happiness of both horses and riders and strive to provide an environment that fosters growth, improvement, and enjoyment.
