OUR FACILITIES
The Gallops Aside from two all weather gallops, the facilities at Naunton are continuously being added to. The benefits of two horse walkers and an equine pool are frequently displayed with horses returning from injury or starting off on the road to fitness, while the likes of Ollie Magern virtually live in the pool! We have five flights of hurdles and schooling fences on our uphill grass gallops and the outdoor school is used for grid work and practice over "baby" obstacles before horses graduate to schooling on the gallops. Of the two all weather gallops, which are against the collar all the way and which help considerably with our reputation for turning out tough, fit racehorses, the latest was installed in July 2003 and is less steep than the original. It is proving to be very successful, especially for the younger horses, and means that training needs can be tailored accordingly.
