Facilities
Nestled in the picturesque heart of the High Weald, Green Hedges Farm enjoys the natural advantage of the undulating landscape — ideal for conditioning elite equine athletes. Our philosophy is simple: happy, relaxed horses perform at their peak. We prioritise exceptional care, tailored training, and the highest standards of welfare to bring out the very best in each horse.
At Green Hedges, owners are more than spectators — they are valued partners in every step of the journey. From morning gallops to race day excitement, we offer a personal and rewarding ownership experience.
Gallop
Our 4 furlong carpet fibre gallop climbs over 50 metres, is invaluable for improving horses fitness and we have found that it functions in all weathers. The gallop is available for hire, please contact us for details.
Schooling Facilities
We also have a FibreMix arena in which we are able to start with the basics of breaking and flatwork, as well as polework, with hurdles that enable us to school when the weather doesn't allow on the grassland. We jump the horses regularly, as we believe that they are more able to help themselves negotiating a fence if they get plenty of experience over different types of obstacles. We also have a schooling ground on grass with hurdles, fences and small hurdles for introducing young horses.
