Preparing for Horse Shows and Events with Temporary Stables

The summer months are a popular time to host various horse shows and events around the UK. With dressage, show jumping and a whole host of other equestrian based events taking place, you may be considering taking your horses to compete. If you are new to the equestrian world and wondering where you might be able to house the horses during the event in question, you will be pleased to know that help is at hand in the form of Cheval Liberte’s temporary stables.

Providing proper shelter and accommodation can ensure that the horses are truly the stars of the show. At Cheval Liberte we stock and supply what we call Hyppic Temporary Stables which only take a few minutes to assemble from their flat pack arrival.

They are fairly light in nature, whilst remaining strong and sturdy enough to keep your animals safe and secure, thanks to a galvanised steel framework. They are also pretty versatile and they can be set up either side by side or back to back, which can be particularly useful if you are travelling the country attending multiple shows and the available amount of installation space changes from venue to venue.

For lots more information about temporary stables, please visit the main Cheval Liberte website.

With Summer Approaching a Field Shelter Could Prove Invaluable for Your Horses

Your horses are likely to have been stabled during the harsh winter months and even through the early spring, but with temperatures warming up and the nights drawing out, many of you will be gradually introducing the horses back into pasture. Of course, it’s important to do this carefully and incrementally as the horses will have become very accustomed to their winter time surroundings and conditions.

If the horses are going to be outside for the majority of time, it is well worth considering erecting a field shelter as this will provide some much needed shade for when the sun really reaches its peak. It also provides shelter from other inclement weather.

Cheval Liberte can supply a variety of field shelters, ranging from very basic but effective static field shelters through to slightly more elaborate mobile shelters. The mobile version is of course a little more versatile and perhaps easier to handle and can be towed across large fields until you reach the most suitable area for the shelter to rest in. Depending on your requirements, the static shelter might prove to be a more affordable option and they are available in a number of different sizes and dimensions.

If you haven’t considered this kind of sheltering for your horses before, now might be the time to think seriously about it. Please contact us at Cheval Liberte for much more information.

Cheval Liberte Alphabet - "M" is for "Manoir" Barn

We are now officially half way through our Cheval Liberte alphabet adventure, we have been taking a look at some of the passions, projects and products of the company.

We have reached the letter “M” and this leads us to the “Manoir” barn which can be found within the roster of our American barns. A little like the Laminate barn we looked at in the last chapter, the Manoir barn is modular in design, which effectively means the amount of bays you can have is only limited by the size of the product you choose to order.

Each bay features two stalls while the barn structure itself is fitted with large sliding doors which makes access to the barn straightforward. In addition to all of the standard features, there are also some interesting optional extras that can be both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

How about a clock tower with fully functioning clock to give your new barn a particularly grand and impressive appearance? You can also opt for smaller windows that feature a “Roman” style arch.

If you want to see (in image form) one of the Cheval Liberte Manoir barns being constructed, you can check out our main website, where you will also find lots more information about other barn styles and lots more related to the equestrian world.

Cheval Liberte Alphabet - "L" is for "Laminate" American Barns

If you are planning an American Barn style set up as part of your new enterprise or extension of an existing one, there are a number of different options available to consider. An American Barn is pretty much what you would expect, a usually large internal space that is ideal for accommodating horses.

Here at Cheval Liberte, we actually stock four different kinds of American style barn and one of them is the Laminate. It’s a modular design, which means if you so wish, you can have a number of different bays to suit your requirements. Each of these bays will feature two stalls. The structure of the barn itself is where the “Laminate” name comes from, with the galvanised steel framework being clad in timber. This of course makes the structure look much more attractive from the outside and easily convinces as a fully made from wood building.

There are again a number of different options available, depending on your preferences. Barn Type 50 features 40mm thick tanalised pine, while Barn Type 70 features 65mm thick tanalised pine.

You can find out lots more about Cheval Liberte American Barns and in particular the Laminate Barn, over at our main website.

Cheval Liberte Alphabet - "J" is for the Jump Range

Nestled into one of the corners of our main website is the Cheval Liberte “Jump” range. This is for those horse owners who are perhaps a little sportier and either enjoy the jumping aspect themselves or own a piece of land that is used to train horses and even other riders.

On the site there are a good selection of poles, galvanised uprights and water jumps in addition to storage racks which are designed to make storing the equipment more straightforward. With a combination of galvanised uprights, poles and water jumps, you can create your very own course or arena. Choose from a variety of sizes to suit whoever might be using the layout – make it easy and gentle for the learners and perhaps make it a little more challenging for those with some experience.

Everything is made from the highest quality and the well being of the horses themselves is always the main priority in everything that Cheval Liberte does and is involved with. Perhaps better known for our range of stables, American barns and field shelters, there really is something for everyone involved in the equestrian world.

Please visit our main website for more information about the jump range as well as any of our other products.

Cheval Liberte Alphabet - "I" is for Internal Stables

Internal stables are a large part of what Cheval Liberte is all about. Perhaps you have buildings that are not being used and always wondered if you could do something with them. Well, potentially (depending on the kind of building) and with a little bit of work you could be sitting on a way to bring some money in by converting your old out buildings or agricultural buildings into internal stables.

There are a variety of options when considering this kind of venture and some of our most popular come from the Prestige Range and the Standard Range. Both options represent good quality, with plenty of skill having gone into the design process. They are all strong and built to last and there are a number of stable frontages to choose from so you can tailor the structure as closely to your own requirements as possible.

The Prestige range features perhaps the pinnacle of our internal stable range. Select your doors and finishes to closely match the rest of your building’s aesthetic. For much more information about our range of stabling solutions, please visit our main website, where we also have a range of accessories and other products that will appeal to any keen equestrian.

Cheval Liberte Alphabet – “H” is for Horses

Another major stopping point in the Cheval Liberte alphabet is the letter “H”. Horses really are what the company is all about. Their love and passion of the equine world is where it all began and as we saw in the last chapter the company name itself is translated as “horse freedom”. Providing the best quality indoor environments for horses is something Cheval Liberte strives for and this can be clearly seen in the range of stables, American Barns and field shelters.

Each horse owner’s needs will be different, from requiring multiple temporary stables for those that show or race horses on a regular basis, to those who might just own a few or even one horse and need to provide vital shelter for the animal. Whichever end of the scale you are on, we are sure you will share the philosophies with Cheval Liberte who believe that your horses should have the best facilities possible for each situation.

You may not need a whole new stable, you may just be looking for some stable doors, windows or other accessories to add to your existing set up. You can find all of these items and many more over at the main website - www.cheval-liberte.co.uk
