Equestrian specific electrics
Schools, yards and everything between them.
We're based in Haslemere, which is surrounded by equestrian facilities — and there are horses in the family, which gave us connections in the equestrian world long before it became a line on a website. Over the years that has turned into designing and installing the electrics for indoor schools and for entire yards, across Surrey, West Sussex and Hampshire.
What we install on a yard.
These are jobs we have actually done, not a list of things we'd be willing to try.
- Indoor schools & arenas
- Whole-yard installations
- Waterproof down lights
- Electric water heaters for horse washes
- Remote-access CCTV
- Tack room & barn power
- Outside lighting for winter yards
- Stable block rewires
01
Indoor schools & arenas
Lighting an arena is a design problem before it is a wiring problem: even coverage down the long sides, no hot spots at C and A, and fittings mounted where a horse spooking into the kickboards can't reach them. We have designed and installed complete schemes for indoor schools.
02
Whole-yard installations
Supply, distribution and circuits for an entire yard — stable blocks, barn, tack room, feed room, solarium, office and outside lighting, all on one coherent installation rather than twenty years of accumulated extension leads.
03
Waterproof down lights
Fittings that survive a pressure wash, ammonia, dust and being hit by a haynet. The rating on the box matters less than where the fitting is put and how the cable enters it — which is the part that gets skipped by people who normally wire houses.
04
Electric water heaters for horse washes
Hot water at the wash bay in winter, on a properly sized and protected circuit with the isolation somewhere sensible. Installed so the person using it at 7am in the dark doesn't have to think about it.
05
Remote-access CCTV
Cameras on the boxes and the yard entrance, recording, with remote access from your phone — so checking a mare at 2am doesn't mean putting boots on. Cabled in properly rather than dangled off a bracket on wifi that drops out.
06
Outside lighting for winter yards
Enough light to muck out, lead in and hitch a trailer between October and March, without floodlighting the neighbours or the horses. Switched and zoned so you light the bit you're standing in.
Why a yard isn't a house
Water, dust, ammonia and half a tonne of horse.
Stable blocks are among the harshest environments a domestic electrician ever wires. Everything gets washed down, everything is covered in dust, the atmosphere is corrosive, and anything mounted below about seven feet will eventually be leaned on, kicked or chewed.
So the decisions that matter aren't the ones on the quotation. They're where the fitting goes, how the cable enters it, whether the containment can be hosed, where the isolation lives, and whether the person doing the 6am feed can find the right switch in the dark with gloves on.
That's the difference between a yard wired by someone who understands yards and a yard wired by someone who usually does kitchens.
