Morning on the Gallops for 6 people and Bacon Sandwiches

Martin always wanted to work with racehorses. David Nicholson gave him his first rides and early winners as Conditional Jockey, with regular rides and schooling on superb horses such as Barton Bank (King George VI Chase 1993) and the mighty Viking Flagship (Queen Mother Chase 1994 & 1995). From then it was inevitable that Martin would become a trainer having shown such an affinity for horses. After a spell at Cheltenham Racecourse where he learnt the art of fence-building and, most importantly, becoming an expert at reading the ground. Martin and Belinda launched Condicote Stables almost a decade ago and have had ever-increasing success since then. People will tell you there’s no such thing as a certainty in racing, but you’ll certainly be impressed by the warmth of welcome and depth of enthusiasm at Condicote Stables.

The Condicote gallops and schooling grounds are steeped in history and from the minute you approach the area you cannot help but be impressed by the beauty, peace and tranquillity of this glorious part of the North Cotswolds. The stunning location contains some of the best and most modern private gallops in the country, together with extensive turnout paddocks. But the success of any racing stable is as much to do with the team and the personal style and values of the whole yard. Owning racehorses is all about having fun, both on and off the track. Martin Keighley, his effervescent wife Belinda and the entire team are committed to helping you get the maximum enjoyment out of your involvement in our wonderful sport. Their commitment to personal attention and a really enjoyable experience is shared by the whole team.
