Cheltenham 2018 – it’s all about Wexford Sand
As passionate devotees of performance horses, with our own Ballymountain Boy in training with Martin Keighley, we supply surfaces and their components to professionals to make the marginal gains that can mean the difference between winner and also-ran. Take Cheltenham 2018 for example – the general trend was the greater parts of the win tally […]
Bally bolts up again
It’s 2 out of 2 this season for our own Ballymountain Boy, trained by Martin Keighley (pictured, left). We were delighted when he struck at Kempton on the first day of the 2017 season in the 2m4f hurdle, and we were incredibly pleased to see him land his second race of the season in similar […]

FEI confirms surfaces tailored to discipline are best practice.
There are some things we horsepeople take as gospel right? Such as: it’s important to have a saddle that’s the correct fit. Or that a back-protector and helmet are probably a good idea if we want to stay safe. They seem so obvious that we would never question it. So it seems strange to us […]
