TRAINING FACILITIES

We have 6 grass gallops at our disposal ranging from 2 to 5 furlongs in distance. These are all uphill and one is a shavings gallop.

As the location is set on old chalk downland the surface never gets firm in the hottest weather in the summer and never worse than soft in even the wettest periods of winter.

We feel that grass is far more natural surface for horses than some of the artificial surfaces. Many vets also agree and feel that we probably have the lowest injury rate for horses in training.

We do our horses fast work in a homewards direction as horses always love "going home" and it makes out job easier as they tend to do what we ask them.

We have an undercover Monarch horsewalker for the warming up and warming down and we have plenty of turn out paddocks where our horses can let themselves down and "chill out"!

Loose schooling is carried out at Sue and Ray Goldsteins's indoor school which is about 5 minutes away from our yard.

Jamie...... invests a lot of time and effort (and is quietly proud) having taught all the girls using the same methods that he does.

Being Jamie, it's only because ultimately it makes his life a lot easier too!
