Facilities

The facilities at EquineTrain are designed with the safety and convenience of racehorses and trainers in mind. We encourage you to take advantage of the facilities we have available, to make your visit to the centre as comfortable and productive as possible.

Wash Bays

Prior to using our services, all horses are required to have their feet picked out and any sand, mud or dirt hosed off in one of our wash bays. This is vital to

ensure the highest standards of hygiene can be offered to all visitors to the centre, particularly as many of our services are water-based.

Wash bays are fitted with tie-up points, non-slip rubber flooring, rubber-lined walls and hot and cold water. They are available to all visitors to the centre, before and after their sessions.
Benefits:
  • Safe place for hosing horses;
  • Hot and cold water as required after treatment or exercise.

Tie Up Stalls + Transit Stables

If you need somewhere safe to attend to your horse before or after a session, our tie-up stalls and transit stables are available to all centre visitors.


Tie-up stalls are ideal for cross-tying when grooming, saddling or rugging. Stalls have non-slip rubber flooring and hanging rubber dividers to prevent kicking.

Transit stables are larger, fully enclosed areas with rubber-lined walls and non-slip rubber flooring. Transit stables are a safe option for grooming, saddling or rugging even the most highly-strung or anxious horse.
Benefits:
  • Safe areas for grooming, saddling and rugging;
  • Secure areas for highly-strung horses;
  • Convenient alternative to holding or walking horses.
