MEET THE SHARDELOES TEAM

One big
happy family

Tony and Linda moved to Shardeloes Farm in 1990. In main they were motivated by a desire to find off-road hacking after a serious accident on the roads with a pony which they owned at the time. Tony, a former World Champion Powerboat racer and Entrepreneur brought his blue-sky thinking and ‘engineering’ skills into play by turning his hand to farming and developing the site. Linda, a horse-lover from age 4 started the livery yard with our very first livery – a horse called ‘Thingy’.

HYDROTHERAPY SPA

Healthy happy horses

The Equine Hydrotherapy Spa combines the use of salt water and temperature treatments in a new, highly effective way that has been proven under laboratory conditions and time and time again in experience.

The Equine Therapeutic Spa represents the most highly developed, effective and easily managed harnessing of proven, medication free therapy.

How does the spa work?

The Equine Spa achieves fast, long term healing through a combination of cold water at between 2 and 4 degrees celsius, aeration (providing a massage element), salt (always known to have a healing effect and act as a poultice, drawing out fluid) and a variable depth option for accurate treatment.

Clinical trials have shown that all of these together provide an unusually high level of oxygen in the water which is thought to aid healing still further.

Our spa also provides access to a fresh water treadmill, with incline for conditioning and rehabilitation.
