The beautiful and airy new stables have been completed and the Singapore horses are in heaven enjoying their wonderful home. The huge boxes and open air design ensures that this is a comfortable space for the horses, even in the heat of what's looking like being a scorcher of a summer. It seems to be getting hotter every day but on entering the new stable block the temperature is several degrees cooler and there always seems to be a pleasant breeze. The grooms are enjoying the new stable block too! Not only for the cooler temperature but for the wider aisles that make handling horses and mucking out so much easier. There's also a platform out a side door of the building where the stable waste removal tip truck is backed into, so the grooms can empty their wheelbarrows directly into the truck, so the barn area remains clean and relatively fly-free. The stable waste is then carted away for use in the Glen Haven Park gardens or by the local community and businesses. Nothing goes to waste at Glen Haven Park - not even the waste!
