Great care doesn't always mean doing it all yourself.

Flexible, knowledgeable support for horse owners — whether you need an extra set of hands, help maintaining your horse's routine, or someone dependable to step in when you're away.

Armour-EQAC is an extra set of capable hands when you need them. Not every horse owner needs the same level of support. Whether you manage your horse's care independently, board at a full-service facility, or fall somewhere in between, I can help fill the gaps. Examples include:

• Feeding, mucking and stall maintenance

• Turnout, bring-in and blanketing

• Grooming and general care

• Supplements and medication administration as instructed

• Hand walking and routine exercise

• Additional support around busy schedules

Available as individual visits or recurring arrangements tailored to your needs. 

Away & Emergency Coverage

When you can't be there, their care shouldn't be left uncertain.

Travel, illness, work commitments and unexpected circumstances can make it difficult to maintain your horse's regular routine. I provide planned and short-term coverage to help ensure their care continues with consistency and attention.

• Vacation and travel coverage

• Temporary daily care

• Short-notice assistance, subject to availability

• Feeding, turnout and routine stable care

• Coordination with barn staff and other care providers

• Regular updates and photographs

From a few days away to an unexpected change in circumstances, we'll establish a care plan that works for your horse.

Grooming & Presentation

Thoughtful, experienced hands-on care.

From everyday grooming to seasonal maintenance and show preparation, services are tailored to your horse's needs, temperament and comfort.

• Bathing and grooming

• Body clipping and seasonal clips

• Mane and tail care

• Braiding and show preparation

• Tack cleaning

• General presentation and maintenance

Individual appointments and seasonal bookings available.

Exercise & Enrichment

Keeping good routines moving.

Additional movement and attention can be valuable when your schedule is full or your horse needs support maintaining an established routine.

• Hand walking

• Lunging

• Trail and road walks, where appropriate

• Turnout and enrichment

• Owner-directed exercise routines

• Light Mounted Exercise

All exercise arrangements are discussed in advance and tailored to the horse and agreed scope of care.

Policies

Services are customized to the horse, owner, and barn's established routine. Prices may vary for specialty care, difficult handling, significant preparation, or additional time.

A service built around your horse.

No two horses, owners or boarding arrangements are quite alike. Services can be booked individually, scheduled on a recurring basis or combined into a customized care arrangement.

1. Start a conversation
   Tell me about your horse, your current arrangements and where you need support.

2. Establish a care plan
   We'll discuss the routine, responsibilities, schedule and any specific requirements.

3. Care with confidence
   Once arrangements are confirmed, you can feel confident knowing your horse's care is in capable hands.

Whether it's one visit or ongoing support, I'd be happy to discuss an arrangement that works for you and your horse.

Knowledge & Education

I believe great horse care starts with understanding. Every horse has different needs, and sound decisions come from knowledge, experience and knowing when to adapt.

For owners & their family team interested in developing their own practical skills and understanding, Armour-EQAC also offers horse care and stable management education.
