A Cumbrian stable has been transformed into a leading racecourse stabilising business with six-figure backing from HSBC bank.
Grange-over-Sands-based Boundary View has used the investment to acquire an additional 10 acres of land and buy the equipment it needs.
The track system mimics a horse's natural environment: unlike traditional paddocks, the track allows horses to roam freely with other horses, enhancing natural herd behavior.
Boundary View aims to enhance services for horses in the area, providing breed-appropriate living and improved welfare for the horse species.
The ranch benefits from a grass-free track system that aids rehabilitation, promotes exercise and minimizes a stressful environment by keeping prey horses with their peers.
With HSBC's backing, Boundary View expects to see sales increase over the next 12 months and create new jobs across the business to support its growth plans.
Ruby Kowalski, Equine Veterinary Rehabilitation Therapist at Boundary View, said: “We are very proud of our free-range track, which we designed with the horse's needs first and foremost. Horses are my pride and joy and I have been working professionally with horses for over 11 years.”
“We are delighted to be able to offer a truly niche stable in the North West, designed with the horse’s welfare first and foremost in mind.
“Our pasture-free system gives horses the freedom to roam, exercise when needed and thrive within the herd dynamic.”
He added: “It's great that we can now make this boarding option more readily available for horse lovers across the North.”
Fiona Wilson, HSBC Agriculture Relationship Manager, said: “It’s fantastic to be able to support the Boundary View development.
“Many people may not be familiar with this innovative horse stable boarding scheme, but it represents a fantastic opportunity for horse owners who want to create a progressive home for their animals. We look forward to watching Boundary View grow over the coming months.”
Boundary View aims to offer this type of harness to all horses in the region, including retired, riding and rehabilitating horses, contributing to improving animal welfare standards and reducing metabolic disease in horses.
