Agistment Options
Due to Glenworth Valley's large property holdings we are in a unique position where we can offer several types of agistment to suit all needs and budgets.
Which option you choose depends, amongst other things, on factors such as your budget, type of horse, type and amount of riding you do however whatever your interest, there is a home here for your horse.
Regardless of which option you choose all horses have access to our improved pastures, safe fencing, supervision, regular worming and dentist appointments if required.
Spelling agistment
Spelling agistment is for either retired horses, those horses requiring convalescence or those just needing a break. Our spelling horses enjoy natural and peaceful surroundings. Due to the nature of this type of agistment, facilities are limited at the spelling properties.
Paddock rates are $44 per week.
Riding
agistment
Let your horse enjoy the best that nature has to offer. The riding agistment is by far our most popular agistment and represents great value for money. Whilst you have access to all the facilities available and extensive, varied and safe riding trails, your horse has access to the most natural environment you can provide - large, grassed, sheltered paddocks and the freedom and space to roam with other horses, swim in the dam and 'be a horse' in a relaxed and safe environment.
We rotate the paddocks on a weekly basis and bring them closer to the carpark and facilities area over the weekend. The horses are still easily accessible during the week and you are welcome to visit your horse as you please.
The number of horses in riding agistment can vary however all of our paddocks are large enough to accommodate the number of horses in each thus ensuring they are never overstocked and this group of horses have access to, and are rotated through, many different paddocks ensuring there is no competition for feed.
Paddock rates are $50.00 - $60.00 per week, depending on which property your horse is located at.
Small
group agistment
Small group agistment enjoys all the same benefits as the riding agistment but on a smaller scale. There are approximately 5-12 horses in a paddock.
Paddock rates are from $65.00 - $77.00 per week.
Feed program paddock
A full range of supplementary feeding and rugging/unrugging programs are available. Only the best quality feeds are used and these are fed according to the manufacturers recommendations. Products used provide a complete and economical "cool" energy feed. If you would like your horse fed they usually have to be in either a separate paddock or one of the special "feed program" paddocks. These paddocks have specially designed individual yards to ensure your horse enjoys all of his/her feed without any stress or competition. At GV we understand that all horses have individual needs and requirements and we welcome you to discuss these with us.
The feed program paddock rates are $65.00 per week (paddock costs only). Feed program options start at $25.00 per week (excluding feed costs).
On arrival at Glenworth Valley you are required to complete an Application for Agistment and to pay one month's agistment and an initial drench. Thereafter agistment fees must be paid one month in advance. Statements of Account are forwarded on the 15th of each month. Agistment fees are debited to your account on the last Saturday of the month {count the number of Saturdays in a month and multiply by ($your paddock rate) to calculate agistment owing}. Weekly service fees will be charged on overdue accounts.
All horses are drenched on arrival, and then every second month. Drench costs are $30 per drench, and are debited to your agistment account in advance.
Payment may be made in person at the Yard Office, by post or by B-Pay. We also have eftpos and credit card facilities in the yard office. Cheques and Money Orders should be made payable to Glenworth Valley Horse Riding Pty Ltd.
