Polytrack PS Hobbs & White.jpg
Polytrack Gallop

Our polytrack gallop has an incline over 3 furlongs. It is 6 inches thick and is laid on a tarmac membrane which provides excellent drainage. This gallop was laid in 2002 by Martin Collins Enterprises. It provides a perfect surface for schooling when the schooling ground is too firm, too soft or frozen. Our horses do most of their preparation work to build up fitness on the Polytrack, it is also great to keep horses ticking over during the season repeating their canters up to three times. The polytrack is a huge benefit to the yard as it can still be used up until a temperature of -12°C.

Schooling Menage

Our outdoor all weather schooling menage plays a huge part in the training of horses at Sandhill. The arena has a fibresand surface which is great to school horses of all ages over poles, barrels and easyfix fences so they are fully prepared for jumping on the racecourse. We also use the school to break in any young horses which enables us to give them a great education before they are ridden on the gallops.
