Stables and horse care

Build around the daily routine.

A stable precinct is more than a row of stalls. Horse care, handling, storage, washing and movement need to make sense together.

The initial brief

Start with the conditions you know.

All services
  1. 01

    Horses and people

    How many horses use the property and how are they managed? Describe the daily routine, who handles the horses and the spaces that feel difficult to use.

  2. 02

    The supporting spaces

    Consider wash bays, tie-up areas, tack, feed and equipment alongside the stalls. Existing services and storage needs belong in the initial brief.

  3. 03

    Materials and maintenance

    Share what needs to be retained, reused or replaced. Suitability, availability and maintenance needs should be considered before finishes are chosen.

Before the details are fixed

Bring the questions as well as the plans.

New, existing or staged

Tell us what is there now, what needs to change first and what could follow later. A larger ambition can begin with a clear account of the immediate problem.

Discuss an existing property

Scope and budget

Share your priorities and any budget or timing constraints you are comfortable discussing. Scope, specialist input, exclusions and pricing need to be agreed for the actual project.

Discuss the overall project

Life after the build

Consider who will maintain the spaces and what equipment they will use. Ask about care requirements, handover information and any ongoing support when the project scope is discussed.

Ask a project question

The first conversation

You do not need every answer before we talk.

Start with the property, the horses and what you would like to change. Share the locality and a short outline. Plans and photographs may help later, but a finished design is not a condition of making an initial enquiry.

The appropriate next step depends on the project. Any site visit, assessment scope or associated fee will need to be discussed and agreed.
