Gallop
4.5 furlong, all weather surface
The gallop is open every day. Please call the office to book. Without booking we cannot guarantee you will have the gallop to yourself.
The gallops cost £15 per horse. For trainers bringing more than 8 horses a week a regular user discount of every 4th horse free is available. For everyone else we offer a loyalty card that is stamped on every visit, and your 5th gallop is free.
You can combine the gallop with either the farm ride or half an hour in the arena for just £20!!
The gallop has a warm up track to loosen up muscles and then there's a 940m perfectly straight gallop to train on with a Martin Collins Activ Track waxed surface, Duraloc fenced on both sides, rising up over 100 feet to the top. After that there's a sand surfaced track to return to the start of the gallop for another go or to the car park. If you have booked the gallop to yourself we don't mind you returning to the start by riding back down the gallop.
This facility is excellent for building fitness, stamina, suppleness and strength. Or just for a good blast!
Kelsall Hill LTD is extremely grateful for the grant assisstance given from the Rural Development Programme for England. Please click on the logos below for further information on the relavent organisations:
Horse and Rider Safety
It is a condition of use that all riders adhere to the rules regarding use of the gallop. These are available from the office.
For safety's sake we have invested over £20,000 in erecting Duraloc running rails and we have six slip rails in the fencing to allow riders to abort their ride if necessary.
Should a horse or rider need medical attention we also have the added advantage that the fencing will unclip to allow horses to exit the gallop or to allow access for a vehicle to any part of the track.
