Recent Projects
All Weather Gallop at Mowbray
A new All Weather Gallop has just been constructed for my wife, Ruth Carr here at Mowbray Farm, Stillington.
It is the first in the North to be constructed of Trojan fibre, which is made from chopped up carpet.
The preparations included intensive drainage, branch clearance and bridge building. Membrane was put underneath the stone, and a further membrane laid before the all-weather surface was finally added.
The result is a consistent surface to work the horses on - in all weathers, and a 7f gallop which should last with little upkeep for many years.
