Other training facilities
Vetting
Our vet visits the yard twice a week as a matter of routine, checking every horse to make sure they all stay happy and healthy and that any issues are detected early.
Stabling
The yard boasts 48 boxes, each a minimum of twelve feet square - giving our horses plenty of room to move about, lie down and roll. Every stable also features a plumbed, self-regulated drinking water unit.
Turn-out
We give our racehorses as much paddock time as possible, and we have many acres of paddocks available for turn-out. The opportunity to get out in the sunshine, graze and stretch their legs keeps them fresh and happy, both after they've raced and during their longer breaks.
Stalls training
Our training stalls teach horses to stand quietly in the starting gates and jump out smartly when the gates open. One of our stable staff recently spent two weeks with renowned horse whisperer Gary Witheford, learning his specialised techniques for loading horses into starting stalls, and we're proud to say that we've never had a horse cause a problem in the starting gates!
Schooling
Our jumping horses learn their trade close to the yard - first trotting over poles to introduce them to the idea of obstacles, then graduating to our schooling hurdles and fences.
