From the QE website 'We realised that providing inside stabling was wasteful of building money, wasteful of energy due to the lighting and constant ventilation costs plus was not what normal riders utilise. The decision was therefore taken to provide normal outdoor loose boxes as you will find at every stable yard throughout the UK.'
Sorry, wrong bit 'One of the facilities we are currently creating will mean once again, as in the past, the College will have Shire Horses. The College aims to have between 2 and four of these impressive massive horses. We are also providing a true, proper, old fashioned "forge" for our farriers to use. We are based in the countryside and horses are part of the tradition of the countryside.'
