Grange-over-Sands-based Boundary View has transitioned from a traditional stable yard into a premier track livery following a six-figure funding package from HSBC UK.
This financial boost enabled the company to buy a new 10-acre plot in Cumbria and essential equipment.
Track systems, unlike traditional paddocks, mirror a horse’s natural environment and allow them to roam freely while increasing natural herd behaviour.
Such an upgrade is set to enhance the equine offerings in the region.
It provides species-appropriate living and improves horses’ welfare.
The grass-free track system helps in rehabilitation and stimulates movement, while minimising stress by keeping companion horses together.
Through HSBC UK’s support, Boundary View is eyeing an increase in turnover and the creation of new jobs within the next year to bolster growth.
Ruby Kowalski, equine veterinary rehabilitation therapist at Boundary View, said: “We are so proud of the free range track that we have designed to put the horses needs first.
“Horses are my pride and joy, and I’ve been working with them for over 11 years professionally.
“We’re excited to offer a truly niche yard for the North West which has been designed with the wellbeing of the horses as a primary focus.
“It is fantastic we have been able to make this option of boarding more readily available to equine enthusiasts in the North.”
Fiona Wilson, agriculture relationship manager, added: “It is great to support the development of Boundary View.
“While many may not be familiar with this innovative livery yard boarding system, it presents an exciting opportunity for horse owners who are interested in creating a progressive home for their animals.
“We look forward to seeing the growth of Boundary View over the coming months.”
The yard welcomes all horses, retired, ridden and in rehab stages.
Boundary View plans to offer this type of livery for all regional horses to help increase animal welfare standards and reduce equine metabolic diseases.
