Barns

The training complex centres around three large barns, which house over 130 horses in total.

The barns are fully insulated to ensure the horses are protected from sudden changes in climate. Special emphasis has been placed on a system of natural ventilation.

Barry believes that natural lighting is an important component in the physiological development of his young horses and therefore apart from the louvre windows, there is also clear roof lighting.

Other Facilities

Lagoons store rainwater collected from the roofs, which is used to water the nearby gallops during the summer months

Indoor Arena

This arena has a Polytrack surface and is used when breaking in yearlings, introducing horses to the starting stalls, exercising during bad weather and also for Barry to focus on each horse before exercise.

Walking Track

This track is situated opposite the complex which allows the horses to walk around a 14 acre paddock.

Grass & All Weather Gallops

Situated adjacent from the yard are private gallops set within 125 acres, which include 2 all-weather gallops and a variety of grass gallops. The close proximity to the yard is ideal, enabling the horses to gain access to the gallops without walking along any roads, giving them a stress free environment.
