Been looking at Horse Walkers for the yard idealy would like one with a half roof

anyone have any suggestions of makes which are good

Also how much for a 6 horse one roughly?

I don't know how much for a 6 horse, I have 4 horse, with no roof but with rubber covered walls and it cost me £8K ish last year.

Have you considered a horse treadmill? Not sure if I'm allowed to say too much without it being classed as advertising as I work for a company that sells them, but they lots of benefits over horse walkers. PM me if you would like some more info.

daft question do you need planning for a horse walker?

 

[Aniseed]

Yep thats the only disadvantage. They are very clever though you can leave the horse on the treadmill and it runs through a set programme, changing the gradient and speed automatically. The main benefit is that the horse is working in a straight line so they build up muscle evenly. Not much more expensive than a walker either.

Sorry I will take my sales pitch hat off now!!

We had our horsewalker installed a couple of years ago and had to get planning permission first. Planning permission cost £600 - daylight robbery methinks!
