Fabulous evening back at Cheltenham Racecourse last night with our old friend Franigane 💕who put in a gallant performance under his owner/rider & our former Assistant George Edgedale to finish 2nd 🥈🙌

A huge team effort to get him there, an absolute pleasure to have him back in the yard and extra special to be back in that famous winners enclosure once again 🩷

The first day of the Aintree Racecourse Grand National Festival will always bring back happy memories of Arzal 🩷

Sourced privately as a young horse from France, he always had so much potential. It was a joy to see him progress through the ranks and go on to score at Grade 1 level.

Pre-training is all about building the right foundations. Alongside bringing young horses through our well refined system, we are also ideally positioned to bring older horses back into work ahead of their season.

Our deep sand gallop is key to this process, helping to develop core fitness and strength.

Here is Live In The Moment, who has been progressing well in pre-training at Hill Barn before he heads into training with Ed Walker Racing Ltd

Our Grade 1 winning facilities cater to a wide array of horses at all stages of their careers, providing the perfect prep before they move on into training.
