Paddocks and school


Paddocks
All of the horses are turned out in the paddocks on a daily basis. This keeps the horses happy and relaxed. We have separate fields which are used for summering and resting horses out of training.

Schooling Facilities
We have a vast array of schooling facilities, as until a horses is taught to jump they won’t be able to win. The first step is jumping  poles in the school before moving on to logs, followed by jumping the hurdles on sand gallop. We also have schooling fences ranging in size to prepare the horses for their race course appearances.

Horse Walker
We have a 4 horse Monarch Horse Walker which is used daily for maintaining fitness around the horses scheduled work.

Manege
We use the school as a start to any horses education, right from the basics of lunging and breaking through to when they are learning to jump and also to get them to work correctly so that they are using all of their muscles to optimize their performance.
