Developing a wash/grooming box area

Horse grooming wash box

When we designed the yard we knew we wanted a grooming area and wash box so when we did the base for the double stables we did an extra width to the concrete.

We then put down non slip mats with double tie rings and counter weights to help keep steady which are just blocks of wood with tie rings screwed in.

Its big enough so we can walk around the wash and groom. The older horses are fine with it, but at the time or writing Blue and Biscuit will need to get used to standing still there with more training.
