The stocks are constructed of an extremely strong framework which is bolted to the floor for extra security. The doorway is constructed to the same high specification as our internal stables, the steel framework infilled with 33/35mm plantation grown hardwood timber or re-cycled plastic boards.
The adjustable height sides and front door are padded with close cell foam and will all swing open to allow the horse to either walk straight through or be removed from the side. The sides are designed to give easy access to the horse’s lower body and legs without the need for extra assistance to keep them still.
The Monarch Handling Stocks are now widely used by many yards, veterinary practises and studs.
For improved safety the use of the handling stock is especially useful in situations where horses are not regularly handled, they can restrained easily and safely without fear of injury to horse or handler.
Veterinary inspection of mares can be done with ease and without distress, including the use of scanners. Expensive therapy equipment can also be used safely with less danger of damage caused by restless horses.
The stocks have been designed to hold the Monarch Solarium which allows the horse to be treated with the solarium while other treatments are taking place.
