Some stables will be reserved to allocate on a priority basis to stallions or horses in need at the discretion of the event organiser. 

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.
For biosecurity reasons we leave a basic bed in stables, banked up at the stable sides to allow competitors the option to use existing bedding for banks/bases, or to remove entirely if preferred.

Hay and shavings can be purchased on site during the show. 
Shavings can be purchased on site for £12 per bale. Shavings must be used in our permanent concrete and wooden stables. Competitors are welcome to bring their own shavings.

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.

Hook Up
Hook up is available at £25 per night. This is payable with stabling entries.

A £15 stable deposit is charged per stable for any bookings made at the centre. This £15 charge is refundable when you vacate your stable at the end of your booking. The £15 deposit will be returned to you as soon as the stable manager confirms that your stable has been left in a suitable condition, i.e. clean, swept, dry and free from excess hay and droppings. The £15 will not be returned after you have left the show centre and so it is your responsibility to confirm your departure with the stable manager and to request your £15 deposit whilst at the centre. The deposit will only be returned to the person who is named on the booking form for the show. The stable manager retains the right to refuse the return of a stable deposit if the above conditions are not met.

Prize money will be paid by BACS after the show, and competitors will be contacted by email to confirm their bank details.
