SPORT HORSE RETIREMENT
Sport horse retirement is the transition of an equine athlete from high-impact competition (like show jumping, dressage, or eventing) to a less demanding workload or complete rest. It prioritizes the horse's physical comfort and mental well-being when age or injury makes top-tier competition unsustainable.
PRIVATE PADDOCK
Surrounded by oak trees and lavender, all paddocks are fully matted and bedded. Paddocks are equipped with shelters and 100g water troughs.
HOOF CARE
Lavender Fields will coordinate all farrier and trim appointments to ensure your horse's feet stay in tip-top shape.
Fly masks, fly spray, whatever they need. In addition, we compost all manure and use a combination of environmentally beneficial insects and organic controls.​
