Sand and Sawdust Gallop
A key feature of our training facility at Rockfield Farm is our 3-furlong (over 600 metre) sand and sawdust gallop.
This 3-furlong gallop with incline is an invaluable resource for long continuous work when training our young horses.
Our breeze up horses ride out on the gallop every morning which is a vital component of their training routine at Rockfield Farm.

Walker
At Rockfield Farm, we have an enclosed, manned, horse walker which can accommodate 6 horses per use. A manned walker is an important feature of our breeze up facility as it allows for controlled exercise. Benefits of the walker includes gentle exercise to warm up or cool down horses, to assist recovery of horses post illness or injury and to alleviate stiffness or injury during training.
