Culture Policy
The Culture of JAG Equestrian comprises three pillars: Excellence, Support and Respect.
We are passionate about creating a training base for equestrian athletes where they feel encouraged and respected, and where they are supported by the best coaching and livery service. All interactions between clients, members, staff, visitors, horse owners, service providers and horses are required to reflect these values.
When a person chooses JAG Equestrian and Winterdown Farm they have already demonstrated that they are serious about their sport. The purpose of training is to try new things without competition consequences. The equestrian athletes who succeed at showjumping are those who understand that improving sometimes means making mistakes, knocking poles or falling off. It is important that our Members and Clients are comfortable to make these mistakes without fear of what others might think. Member and Clients are expected to encourage and support their fellow equestrian athletes.
Unfortunately, Bullying and harassment can happen in any organisation or workplace.
Our Members and Clients will be pleased to note that this will not be tolerated under any circumstances. For that reason, JAG Equestrian reserves the right to discontinue, without notice, access and services for any person or organisation who behave in a threatening or harassing manner, or in any way contravene this policy of excellence, support and respect.
In the event that a Member or Client experiences an incident which they feel is not in line with this policy, please contact Julieann Gaffney confidentially by emailing julieann@jagequestrian.com
Equine Quarantine Procedure
For the safety and wellbeing of all our equine athletes, occasionally a quarantine procedure is required when a horse is moving to Winterdown Farm. In those cases, the following procedure is followed:
- The horse is visually inspected by one of our Yard Manager
- The horse spends the first 10 days in the Quarantine Yard
- On arrival a Full Blood Test and Faecal Test will be carried out
- During the 10 days of Quarantine, the horse can be worked by the client in a designated arena, but interaction with other horses is strictly limited. Once cleared by our Vet, the horse is then moved into its new home in the main stable building.
Emergency Treatment Procedure
The wellbeing of the horse is a priority for JAG Equestrian and Winterdown Farm.
Our staff interact with all horses several times per day, including feeding and stable checks. If there is a concern about a horse that requires veterinary assistance, the Client is contacted to discuss the treatment plan.
If the client cannot be contacted the following procedure is followed;
- A vet is called immediately to assess/treat the horse
- If necessary, the horse is moved as soon as possible to Troytown Greyabbey which is our preferred Veterinary Facility. If the case is determined to be serious (e.g. laceration, colic), our staff may elect to move the horse to Troytown Greyabbey without an intial visit from a vet.
- NOTE: Emergency Treatment often costs in excess of EUR 1,000 so we recommend that all horse owners take out an insurance policy to cover this eventuality. We recommend Allianz Insurance
In some cases, following a treatment, a Quarantine procedure may be required, but each case will be assessed on an individual basis and a plan will be put in place to return the horse to training.
Everything we do at JAG Equestrian and Winterdown Farm is to ensure the best care for your horse, and the best environment for you to train. Arrange an appointment with us to chat about making Winterdown Farm your training base!
