The Tweed River Jockey Club is also less than 400m away, which also provides us with a 1600m course proper for gallops in addition to a sand track, an inside grass and a trot and canter track.
The stable is on private property behind electronically controlled gates, is well fenced and secured by cameras 24 hours a day to ensure the safety and wellbeing of not only our clients’ horses but also our staff while they are on site. The stable contains 80 boxes including a number of walk-in walk-out boxes with yards for those horses that do better in that environment.
This is complemented by a 70 metre straight swim and an arena where horses can do dressage or jumping - both of which encourage horses to concentrate on their movement. Arena work is also a wonderful change up to the routine of every morning on the track.
Our treadmill is also a valuable part of our training facility which allows us to do good amounts of work with horses with no weight of rider on their back. They can also do their work on an incline which reduces the load on the front legs and allows us to control the amount of work a horse does.
Additionally, our location puts us a 15 minute drive to the most beautiful long surf beach, which is almost completely empty at 6am when we arrive with horses. We go onto the beach at the Northern end of Cabarita and walk off to the North towards Kingscliff. The use of the beach is mostly centred on slow work up the beach and then walking back through the surf. It’s not generally hard work, but rather focused on recovery, de-stressing and an opportunity for the horses to do a little work while enjoying the sand and salt water. It is a valuable addition to what we are able do to give your horse the best result.
