Equine Swimming Pool

An equine swimming pool is an essential facility for training racehorses. Our indoor pool, built in 1991, has proved to be an invaluable training aid for horses whose injuries would otherwise have stopped them from being exercised and can be an integral part of training regimes for specific horses.

Our pool has been most important for maintaining a basic level of fitness for horses that are recovering from injury. Ligament injuries, tendon injuries, muscle problems and stress fractures are given ‘weightless’ exercise in the pool, rather than standing in their boxes. It can also be used to help horses before or after a busy campaign or those that need to loosen up before exercise.  

The complex is complete with two solarium booths for drying the horses and keeping their muscles warm and two enclosed sand pits for them to roll in.
