so now is the time to be thinking of having your horse put down.
Our discrete and traditional service is an efficient way to manage this difficult time for both you and your horse.

if your horse is at its regular stable yard or field livery, we wil come there and discuss with you the best plan of action.
This includes consideration to other people on the stable yard and the location of other animals.
Where the best location on the yard or field is to remove the body. This includes how likely it is for people observe the us shooting your horse and the body being loaded.
If you are on a share livery yard then other liveries should be advised and if the yard has a manager then we would reuire them to be in attendance and sign our paperwork giving us person to carry out this service.
People often ask if they have to be there at when we carry out our work.
That choice is sole up to you, We follow set procedures to ensure it goes safe and smoothly.
We are happy to answer any question, but feel obligated that your have to be there, If you feel OK with being there, we will ask you to position yourself in a safe place during the dispatching part of our service, on some occassions your horse may find your presence calming, so we may ask for you to be there while we work, but emotions can run high, it may be better to simply say your goodbyes and walk away.
we would ask for any family member or friend who are vey emotional or distress to say there goodbyes and go, that way the horse does not pick up on there emotional distress.
The horse owner or representative must be on site and confirm which horse has to be put down
They must have Photo ID and the Horses Passport and sign documentation giving consent to us putting it down and transfer the body over to us for disposal, But after that they are free to stay or go.
I had a previous horse put down by a vet and not only did it cost more, it also took 45 minutes and multiple injection . for my horse to pass away, I share a stable yard with a lot of different people so i needed a comapany that could be quick and discret, after asking around I was given this companies number, the men who arrived were very professional and took my through the whole process of what was going to happen, and when I was ready, they did there work, It ws over in seconds and they where loaded and away from the yard in under 10 minutes.
My beloved horse of 20 years injuried her leg so badly that my vet recommended that she be put down, after talking it over with my vet and family i dicided the best option would be to take advantage of this companies service, the team arrived quickly after i contacted them, they explained all what was going to happen, and when I was ready, dispatch my horse very quickly and we care removed her remains. they were very professional and the overal cost was less then the vet was going to charge just to put her to sleep.
My wife horse became very sick and was unable to eat or drink for 2 days, plus he was already 30 years, we made the choice it was best to have him put down, we conatct this company and they were able to come out to us straight away, they were very polite and answered every question we had. They put him down very quickly with no distress to him at all. These men made our hard choice easier. I would happly recommend there services to anyone.
