Concept

Animal welfare is an important subject and it starts with ensuring that your horse's basic needs are met. Whether a leisure, retired or sport horse, there is no good rider-horse relationship if the horse suffers from an unsuitable lifestyle. Integration into the group is the first step and is done little by little so that your horse can then enjoy a very pleasant living environment. The study and implementation of a tailor-made diet for each horse is then carried out. Learning about electronic machines happens little by little, allowing stimulation and occupation throughout the day.

The horse is a gregarious animal, it needs to live in groups. Social contact is essential for his mind. Social grooming, integration into groups, interactions between them... all these behaviors help reduce stress. A horse flourishing in its environment will then be more available to work, a reduction in stress also reduces the risk of diseases such as stress colic, premature aging of the animal, congestion due to lack of movement, the risks of gastric ulcer due to chronic stress or poor diet and a reduction in “tics”. A considerable advantage in this type of accommodation is that your horse is free to walk all day, which is an asset for its health.

A thoughtful layout of their accommodation provides them with spaces
structured to move around day and night. The points of interest of
the active stable are spaced so as to generate maximum locomotion. THE
mixing of age classes in the group benefits young horses who
thus learn the social subtleties of the species through contact with the oldest
while the latter remain more alert and fitter! Being able to move around and move whenever they want is a major asset of this system for their physical and mental well-being.

“Proprioception and locomation”

The different stabilized ground coverings allow horses to walk in a hilly area and provide good maintenance of muscular physical condition and good quality of the sole of the foot. Also advantageous, the varied floors allow the maintenance of good proprioception and better quality and elasticity of tendon and ligament tissues. Horses are no longer subject to congestion due to too prolonged static rest.

Our active stable offers for each new horse a tailor-made assessment with a professional equine nutritionist, to establish the best diet for your horse while respecting its needs. The assessment will be done based on their weight, their activity, their general state of health, their age, their energy needs. It can then be modulated with the stable's on-board computer to set up the horse's exact feeding plan, giving it access, thanks to its transponder collar, to the different equipment and spaces to feed when instinctively it
wish.
