Monarch Stables provide backdrop to War Horse at BETA

War Horse provided a spell binding display at BETA International Trade show this year. Monarch Equestrian have provided the stables for the Demonstration area for the last three years, and last year provided the back drop for Monty Roberts and Martin Clunes who gave an insight into their management of horses.
This year it was the turn of other Equestrian stars to discuss plans for the Olympic year, these included Jennie Loriston-Clarke,Yogi Breisner and Mary King, but on Monday we were treated to a display with a difference! Some of the cast from War horse brought the life sized puppet horse and the skilled puppeteers transformed it in to a moving life like display . The audience could not fail to be enthrauled by the display and everyone left determined to see the stage show in London, one definately not to be missed.

Kings Troop move into new Monarch Stables at Woolwich

The Kings Troop have just moved out of their old barracks in St Johns Wood to take up residence in their new stables at Woolwich.
Monarch Equestrian have flown the flag to provide British designed and built  Internal Stables and Stalls for the specially designed barracks and have worked with the main contractors Morgan Sindall to have this facility ready for the the big move.

Monarch have provided the 96 stalls and 40 stables, the specially designed stalls have the facility to swing when required and the stables provide generous sized accommodation for the Chargers. External doors and windows have also been designed to suit the requirements of the Troop  and their horses, by working with the Architects and Builders the end result is a stunning new facility.

Monarch Handling Stocks have been installed in the fully equipped pharmacy providing an ideal area for examination and treatment, which compliment the Isolation boxes and Sick Lines.

Monarch Equestrian are honoured to have been able to provide the stables at the new Barracks and would like to wish Commanding Officer Major Mark Edward and  the Kings Troop Royal Artillery the very best as they settle in to their new base.

Burghley Horse Trials 



Everyone is welcome to visit our stand (G1) at Burghley Horse Trials near Stamford between the 1st -4th September 2011. Monarch's own fitting teams have been putting the final touches to the stand which provides an insight into the robust construction of our stables, with one bay of our innovative Barn on display, showing just how light the interiors can be. The ever popular working quarter size model of a Horse Exerciser never fails to create discussion on what other animals might also make use of it!

As you will see from the piccture below, we also have on display a range of  our Historical lamps, which perfectly compliment the stables, especially the Majestic range, there are even Saddle and Bridle hooks to complete your Tack room in the traditonal way.

We will be pleased to see you and can talk through your plans or dreams for the future by viewing  the stunning range of stables we have on offer, it will really give you a feel of the quality and an insight into how your stables might look, we think you will also be surprised at the excellent value for money too.

Monarch Horse Exerciser in North Africa

Last  year Monarch  installed a 36'0" Diameter Consort Plus Exerciser and Roof in the Benghazi region of Libya, we were asked to supply a senior technician to supervise the installation and fortunately we were able to complete the work before the unrest began in this part of the country.

On this occasion there was a considerable amount of work to do in putting the base down in sandy conditions and as the work was done by hand there was a lot of hard work involved !  Clients normally have the base completed prior to the arrival of our technician, as all the plans are provided for them to work to, this minimises the time the technician is required for and thus keep expense to a minimum. On this occasion they had under estimated the time it would take and not informed us that the base was not complete, so when our technician arrived there was still plenty to do, not a disaster fortunately as with the  hot conditions the concrete did not take long to go hard enough to start the erection of the Horse Exerciser! As you can see they were having a lot of work done so it was also difficult to get the component parts close to the base for ease of construction.
( Always something worth considering when you are planning where your Horse Exerciser will be sited).

Our clients who were wonderful hosts to our technician and very pleased with their new Monarch Exerciser, we hope that they have not been too affected by the troubles and that their horses have been able to benefit from using the Horse Exerciser.

Monarch Equestrian in Brazil

Time to catch up with some news from abroad, Monarch technicians have been busy around the world .Just before Christmas they completed the installation of one of our 54'Diameter Professional Horse Exercisers at a Stud in Brazil , as you can see the weather was much better than in England at the time and the Exerciser was sited in beautiful surroundings with miles of open countryside surrounding the stud.

The stud has chosen to site the two gateways in their Consort Plus Exeriser close to one another for ease of loading and unloading , but the choice is yours.

Once the Exerciser had been installed Lee,one of our technicians had time to make friends with the visiting stallion who was enjoying time in a paddock. Everyone made them feel very welcome and they were  provided with excellent hospitality during their stay. They have reported back that they are delighted with the Exerciser and everything is running smoothly.

Monarch Technicians travel to Brazil

Monarch Technicians flew out last week to Brazil, to enjoy the slightly warmer climate and install two Monarch Professional Horse Exercisers at a thoroughbred  Stud in the southern Brazil. After struggling through the artic conditions in Brtiain to reach Heathrow it will have been a pleasant task to spend a week in the sun fitting the Exercisers.We look forward to seeing photos the finished product and hearing about their travels.
Monarch offer a full installation service worldwide for both their Stables and Horse Exericsers, and are also able to send out senior techicians to supervised larger projects if the customer prefers to use their own labour.
