The members’ stable offers full service; the rent consists of a basic box rent plus optional services. You are given a box and a paddock, and access to the facility when no booked activities are taking place. Membership of Borås Fältrittklubb is compulsory for everyone stabled here and is paid through Hippocrates. For safety reasons, anyone under 18 may not be in the stable or ride when no other adult is at the facility.

Feeding and bedding
We feed every day, including weekends and public holidays. All horses in the members’ stable use a hay rack. The morning feed includes haylage (2 kg), plus a lunch feed in the paddock on weekdays (2 kg); the rest of the ration goes in the hay rack. Concentrates are fed morning and afternoon in the manger. We offer haylage, straw and oats, and are responsible for sourcing, buying and checking the feed. Bedding: wood pellets.
Horse welfare
Horse welfare is about both the horse’s physical and mental health – the “Five Domains” model covers nutrition, physical environment, health, behaviour and mental state. Swedish law says horses must be able to have physical contact with other horses and move freely in their natural gaits every day. If your horse is stabled with us, we therefore want horses to share a paddock with at least one companion.
Interested in a place?
To join the waiting list we would like a reference from an approved riding instructor, trainer or previous yard, as well as a regular income and an approved credit check. We also place great importance on you being a good stable mate who shows consideration and respect for staff, other horse owners and members, being helpful and believing that everyone is of equal worth, and valuing the horse’s needs.
