Facility
Within the confines of Barbury Estate we are blessed with multiple gallops, varying in distance and surface. The ‘Barbury’ yard is separated into 5 barns, with each barn providing the horses with a blend of excellent ventilation and shelter from the elements. Each barn undergoes regular disinfection to ensure the horses have a clean and comfortable environment to obtain optimum results. The spa is a key component in the aid of a horse’s recovery, a mixture of chlorine and Epsom salts in water varying between 1-3 degrees centigrade, with a ‘Jacuzzi’ like effect on the horses legs. It provides any individual with niggling issues a perfect opportunity to recuperate after the rigours of a mornings exercise. We have an all weather strip with 3 easyfix hurdles, which is essential because the remaining obstacles are based on grass, which can only be used ground permitting. On the grass we have 2 lines of birch fences, consisting of 3 fences in each line, both varying in size. We also have a line of easy fix fences, and a line of wooden hurdles. The outdoor school is where the horses begin their jumping education, with a row of logs running through the middle of the school, two easy fix hurdles, barrels and poles, it is a great starting point in learning a sound technique.
