To ensure the health and well-being of the horses, West Sussex Livery provides shared cost options for services such as shoes, worming, clipping and trimming, and osteopath treatments. Yearly rug wash and flu and tetanus jab services are also available. The yard management is dedicated to the welfare of the horses, and they work closely with a reliable farrier, L Gordon, for any necessary hoof care.
