Our Youngstock livery packages are designed for youngsters being turned away for a period of time, as part of the package we include general handling, checking feet, holding for appointments etc, as well as offering to help with things like getting used to rugging, wearing headcollars etc. Suitable for horses having a break after training, or yearlings upwards just having some time to grow and be a baby!

Our figure of 8 track system is designed to encourage movement and reduce grass intake, our track is virtually grass free making it ideal for horses who are laminitis prone, have EMS, Cushings disease, or other metabolic issues. By strategically placing Hay in feeding stations around the track, as well as enrichment, salt licks, and self selection water buffets with vital vits and mins, our Track Liveries are encouraged to move more than the might do on traditional grazing set ups. Our Track System is also suitable for good doers, and arthritic horses that may not be able to be exercised. Track Systems are a perfect alternative to more traditional grazing restrictions as they offer the 3 F’s; Friends, Forage and Freedom, which are so important for our horses physical and mental well being. Track Livery is available for retired horses, or horses in work.

We can now offer Rehabilitation for horses suffering from Laminitis, recovering from injury or procedure, or horses needing a lifestyle overhaul due to severe weight loss or gain. At River View Eq, we offer a tailored service for your horse depending on their requirements. Our proprietor offers many years experience assisting in Rehab, specializing in Laminitis rehab, weight gain/loss, or assisting owners with learning how to manage horse with metabolic conditions.
