Stables should be left in the condition in which they are found, i.e. clear of droppings and dry. Any stables which are not left in a suitable condition will incur a muck out fee which will be communicated and charged to the competitor upon inspection of vacated stables.

Hay and shavings can be purchased on site during the show. Please ask for a forage slip upon arriving at the centre and you will be able to pay for hay/shavings before collecting it from the hay barn next to the permanent stables at allocated times throughout the event.

Hay may be purchased for £3 per slice (or the equivalent of a full haynet.)

Taps are provided in stabling areas for filling water buckets. Bury Farm does not have a specific wash down area. We therefore request that competitors do not wash horses down in areas where competitor footfall is high to maintain suitable health and safety protocols.
