PREPARING FOR THE NEW SEASON


We are always looking to enhance our facilities for the benefit of our horses and owners. Last winter we made a concerted effort to improve the ventilation and air circulation of the stables. It was felt that a further enhancement was possible and ventilation and extractor consultants Bassaire  came to Jackdaws Castle to carry out tests and advise us. A lengthy session (while the horses are out at grass!) ensued with a smoke generator which allowed us to see the airflow. As a result, we have received advice which will allow us to up-grade the ventilation which will benefit the health and well-being of the horses and keep Jackdaw Castle’s facilities right up there with the best in the world. A big “thank you” to Bassaire for helping us with this project. 

Alan, Fred and Federico have been working very hard to upgrade the swimming pool. The pool was then emptied, thoroughly cleaned, painted, and then re-filled with 400,000 litres of heavy water to see an improvement in the horses.

We've installed new trace heating in each stable giving us peace of mind that all the pipes will stay intact throughout the hard winters and all of the horses will have fresh water every day.

THE GALLOPS


​The team have also been working hard to improve our 3 all-weather gallops; 1 mile, 5-furlong and the round sand gallop. 

Maintaining the gallops ensures top level training for the horses.

BENTLEY DAY AT JACKDAWS CASTLE


The weather was very kind to us again this year for the brilliant On and Off-Road Bentley experience. 

​Guests enjoyed the opportunity to drive up alongside the horses on the gallops, around the estate here at Jackdaws Castle, as well as taking to the picturesque roads around the North Cotswolds. 

After a tour of the facilities and a gin and tonic on the lawn from the wonderful Cotswolds Distillery, we headed to the beautiful Lygon Arms for a fantastic lunch.

A FEW DAYS AT ROYAL ASCOT


I always enjoy a few days at Royal Ascot. There's always a brilliant atmosphere, even more so when Frankie starts winning!

It's a special week in the racing calendar, a great place to meet up with lots of friends, and a magical place to get a winner.

HORSES BACK IN TRAINING


It's that time of year when the winter jumpers come in from their holidays and begin some light exercise. This is the exciting time of the year where all the dreams and plans come together.
