Lowlands Farm RDA- Installed February 2019

It was so lovely to be apart of this special install, in Charley’s House at Lowlands Farm RDA

“Huge thanks to Horseplay Hoists for making this happen for us. This major development means that we’ll now be able to accommodate more riders with limited mobility than ever before. Please spread the word to anyone you know who could benefit from this new and improved facility – we’re taking bookings now! Why not visit the yard soon, to take a look for yourself?”

I could not be happier with our decision to purchase the Horseplay hoist for our Equine Pathways Australia program. We found Dom and Caroline super easy to work with and the hoist far exceeds expectations. It is quiet, easy to use and comfortable for the riders to transfer on and off the horses, accommodates a wide range of horse and chair heights and above all is quick and safe to use. Could not recommend it more highly.

Julia Battams, Equine Pathways Australia

We are a small RDA group based within a riding school. We bought a hoist after seeing it in action at the National Championships. It is situated in the indoor school and is completely out of the way when not in use (we dismantle it after each session). Putting it together and taking it apart again for storage is easy and quick.

The hoist has made a huge difference to several of our less mobile riders. We can now mount them safely and easily with no danger of injury to the mounting party, the horse or rider. All of our horses, even the spooky one have taken to the hoist with little or no problems. Because it is silent and slow moving it does not bother them at all. Our volunteers are all happy and confident in helping with it. Even in these times of social distancing, it has been possible to hoist a rider onto a horse with his family helping him in close while the operator can stand safely at a distance. All our riders who have used it are happy as it is very comfortable and safe feeling.

Dominic and his team at Horseplay Hoists are always very helpful. They have always sorted any problems or answered any queries quickly. I would happily recommend a Horseplay hoist to anyone.
