Disinfection

Once a year, we carry out a full deep cleaning and sanitisation of all stalls.

Every element touched by the horse is carefully washed and disinfected, following a protocol designed to reduce bacterial load and prevent the build-up of unpleasant odours or pathogens.

Complete stall sanitisation: annual deep disinfection to refresh and reset the entire space
Targeted cleaning of all surfaces: special focus on walls, doors, feeders, drinkers and rubber mats
Non-toxic, horse-safe products: chosen for effectiveness and respect for the horse’s respiratory and skin sensitivity
Odour control and environmental reset: we aim to restore the space to its cleanest, healthiest state
Comfort and health at the core: long-term well-being starts with clean, safe surroundings
