The Valley All-Weather Gallop

The famous Cooombelands gallops which have helped condition Champion racehorses such as Dancing Brave and Warning and more recently Champion filly Wonderful Tonight and Group 2 and 3 winner Lavender’s Blue. Our main work gallop is eight furlongs (one mile) in length and rises 150 feet in the first five furlongs. Due to gradient, the horses can work on the bridle and enjoy their work. Horses can work sharply for four furlongs until the bottom of the hill or work all the way to the end of the testing eight furlong gallop. The track is 15 foot wide allowing three horses to work upsides.

To the left of The Valley gallop is a spring grass gallop and to the right a sown and watered turf gallop used at different times of the year.

We welcome people to use our all-weather gallops, they provide a safe and enjoyable ride around Coombelands; warm up on the across the top track and walk down for your fast work on the Valley track. They are open all year round, between 1pm and 4 pm Monday – Saturday and on Sundays between 9.00am and 4pm. £24 per horse Inc VAT, book online via the following link. All-Weather Gallops Hire
