…the Unicorn Returns

After celebrating it's 40th anniversary in 2015, the Unicorn Trust, an equestrian centre based in Gloucestershire, decided to fit out a brand new stable block. In fact Fieldguard had provided the Trust with our M2 matting some 20 years before, so we were delighted that we were first choice when it's came to their new project. After a consultation to determine their exact requirements, we recommended our semi draining M130 mat and offered to demonstrate the fitting with an on site visit. Quick to self lay, they...

EVA Stable Mats fit to order for the Ebony Horse Club in Brixton

The Ebony Horse Club in Brixton, South London, is a community riding centre in one of the country’s most disadvantaged neighbourhoods. Pioneered by Ros Spearing, who for a number of years, had been taking an after school club of children for riding and horse care lessons at stables across London. She realised that a more permanent solution was required to help local children with difficult family backgrounds or who were in care. The ideal solution would be to establish a permanent riding school where...

Honeycomb hollow ring mats – perfect for mud free play areas

When our Fieldguard honeycomb hollow ring mats were first available, we were contacted by a primary school who had a serious problem with mud and dirt being bought indoors throughout the year after the children had been playing outside. We suggested that they may consider trying our large, heavy duty honeycomb mat, which is what they did with a small section of one of the play areas. They were laid extremely well by the school ground staff, and the result was spectacular in...

The day Fieldguard supported Lee Pearson, Paralympian gold medalist and the Royal Ballet

Never before had a horse been inside the Royal Albert Hall, until now! In June 2010, Channel 4 commissioned a series of programmes promoting the 2012 Paralympic Games. When Lee Pearson, a gold medal Paralympic dressage rider was asked to appear, the production company approached Fieldguard for our help and advice, so it was a very exciting project for us. Lee was to perform freestyle dressage to music, also known as kur, accompanied in the background by ballet. The chosen excerpt was ‘The Dance...

Diary of a Dog – A visit to the vet

As recounted by the recently retired Greyhound, Bandit. Still new to domestic life at the time.

All proceeds are remitted to Greyhound rescue and re-homing, through either Celia Cross Greyhound Rescue or The Retired Greyhound Trust. Thursday And it was an early start.

Honeycomb Mats on Hampstead Heath

Over the past year, the Corporation of London has been undertaking flood prevention work on Hampstead Heath. The combination of this on-going work and the very heavy rains in mid-December produced a couple of mud slides over some of the most trafficked paths. They needed a temporary fix in a hurry, so the paths could be used by the many thousands of Londoners who take it as read that a slug of fresh air is included over the Christmas New...

The Titan Barrow – your best friend all year round?

From time to time we have been asked for an even larger muck barrow than the ‘Mammoth’ so we were pleased to add the monster Titan Barrow to our range. Beautifully balanced and very tough, the Titan's carrying capacity is only limited by the strength of the person pushing it. It’s good to know that the UK can still produce world beaters and the British made Titan barrow may well prove to be your best friend when it comes to moving deep snow. To order a Titan today, simply follow the link below.

Fieldguard Mud Mats – the perfect solution to the age old problem

Fieldguard Mud Mats Whew! We have certainly had it wet, which is probably why the Mud Mats have been flying out the door these past two months. The pity of it being that they hadn’t a hope in hell of helping the poor people of Cumbria – or the Indian state of Tamil Nadu close to where the mats are made. We do still have stock of the larger hollow, honeycomb mud mat as well as its heavy duty sibling. Grass, Gravel, Mud,...
