At Skilts we believe that turnout on grass paddocks, 365 days (or nights) of the year is what every horse needs to maintain their physical and mental health 💚 Since each and every horse is different, we accommodate different turnout regimes for a miniature Shetland to an 18hh Clydesdale and everything in between… including (individual or small social group) turnout for fit/ clipped competition horses, youngstock, golden oldies, ex racehorses, EMS/laminitics, ulcer prone horses, those with sweet itch, pregnant mares, a horse that’s totally blind… they all deserve to live like horses in as natural an environment as possible!

Last week was a very busy but magical time here at Skilts Farm, as we welcomed Leo, Billy and Floss into the world! 💕😍💕

Leo and Billy are by the very well known Crown’s Ace of Pearl and Floss is by Dunhill Desert Storm, all out of quality warmblood mares who were bred for sport.

All 3 of these beautiful babies are available for reserve, so please do ask for more info! 🥰
