Solland stud

Solland stud Formally a stud breeding Dutch performance horses, we have now launched our horse retirement services. so here we are!

The horses at Solland can roam and relax in our grassland and orchards. In 1996 we brought Solland farm and promptly set about creating Solland stud. We focused on breeding KWPN dutch warmbloods to the highest standard in both confirmation and temperament. After a successful breeding program we closed the stud in 2010 and wondered what to do with all our elderly ex broodmares. We decided that we c

ould simply afford to retire them all ourselves we set about making sure the very same mares that helped us create a successful business enjoyed their golden years in comfort and understanding. As our mare numbers dwindled we were approached by family friends and business contacts who all asked if we could turn their own elderly horses out with our mares and we agreed. In 2023 we said goodbye to the last of our KWPN brood mares (who made it to the grand age of 36!) and suddenly we realised that we now have a horse retirement business!

We now have 3 spaces left for full retirement livery at £70/per horse per week. Located mid Devon uk.
We offer your horse: A natural, pastured based retirement, where daily, they can range freely over extended grazing areas. The Combination of mixed family herds, the varied habitations of grassland, orchards, woodland and bio-rich hedges offer mental stimulation and natural browsing opportunities. The horses at Solland are offered daily love and attention, (we soon learn their favourite scratch or rub) - whilst equally they are free to express individual personality and character traits. Your horse can choose if it wants to come in (and generally they are better than weather forecasting than the met office!) and then further, they can choose the accommodation style -- to buddy up in a open pen or take occupancy of a stable. In the worst weather months, we offer that bit extra to assist them in their senior years and again in the summer when it is hot or the flies are bad – they can choose to seek shelter in a pen or stable.
We believe that your horses mental health is just as important as their physical needs and we work hard to ensure that they remain relaxed and happy all their days here.
We understand that not being involved in the daily affairs of your loved horse is a sad and difficult decision – so we encourage owner visits and will send you pictures and regular updates.

Our livery services include-
• All year round tailored daily turnout
• Horses are stabled in their stable/barn every evening during winter months
And have free range access to shelter during hot / bad fly periods
• Twice daily health and welfare checks
• Horses are given daily attention and fuss.
• Rugs changed as necessary according to the weather conditions
• Each stable/barn has its own individual camera.
• Winter daily hard feed and adlib haylage with seasonal vitamin and mineral supplement in pasture / pens.

What is not included:
• Hoof trims
• Veterinary (or other specialist health care) attention
• Rug supply (we ask you to have two rugs here for use at all times)
• Worming treatments
if you are interested in our livery service please do not hesitate to contact us either by e-mail found on our website or via facebook messenger.
