Facilities
At present we have 60 boxes in 3 separate yards, along with 3 isolation
boxes. All horses are bedded on shavings or treated paper and fed a
combination of high quality feed (predominantly Red Mills) and Eurobale
haylage. We have a 5-stall horse-walker and 3- bay starting stalls plus
several turn out pens and paddocks.
Epsom has an excellent range of training facilities maintained to a high
standard by a committed team of resident ground staff. We have access to
85 miles of grass gallops and several all-weather gallops. The
all-weather gallops include a 5 furlong sand gallop, a 4 1/2 furlong
polytrack and a 9 furlong mactrack. Schooling fences and hurdles are
available whenever required. The yard is situated 20mins walk from the
gallops which provides the ideal warm-up before exercise and warm down
afterwards.
On return to the yard from exercise the horses are encouraged to have a
pick of grass in a relaxed environment before being returned to their
stables. They also have the opportunity to be turned out in pens after
working or racing to allow them to unwind.
We now have our own equine spa located at South Hatch. The spa uses Cold
Water Hydrotherapy which has been proven to be very effective in the
healing process of most lower leg injuries, as well as proving very
effective in prevention of injury. By regular use of cold therapy
immediately after strenuous exercise, many of the stressors within the
tissues are removed before inflammation develops. Cold also
significantly improves bone surface density reducing the opportunity for
bone stress related injuries to occur.

Epsom Equine Spa
We also have
a top of the range massage and pulsed electro-magnetic horse therapy
rug. This type of therapy has been used successfully in equestrian
sports, and has been found to assist in increasing the performance of
sport horses in training and competition. The rug system contains 10
powerful massage modules in 5 lines and 15 magnetic coils in same 5
lines.
The rug has an
integrated neck to ensure that the whole top-line musculature can be
stimulated.
We also have a set of Game Ready ice boots which complement our spa, but
are portable, allowing cold therapy to be applied to the lower limbs
even whilst on the move.
