DESIGN AND BUILD OF GALLOPS

Custom Gallop Construction for All Training Needs

Total Equestrian Construction designs and builds professional gallops for both trainers and private clients, tailored to your terrain, training needs, and available space.

With experience across a wide range of soil types and landscapes, we account for key factors such as gradient, drainage, and corner radius to ensure a consistent, safe surface year-round.

During your consultation, we'll advise on the ideal length, surface type, and layout to suit your horses and workload. Our in-house team guarantees quality craftsmanship with durable materials that perform in all conditions.

Our goal is to deliver a gallop that enhances training, maximises safety, and supports long-term use, whatever your discipline.

WHY CHOOSE US FOR YOUR GALLOPS?

Specialist Materials for All-Weather Gallops

We build gallops from a range of surfaces, including sand, rubber, synthetic fibres and woodchip, and match the material to how and where you train. Every surface sits on a properly engineered base with drainage designed around your soil type, so it stays consistent and usable through wet winters and dry summers alike.

Low-Maintenance Surfaces Built to Endure

A gallop takes far more punishment than most equestrian surfaces. We use durable, long-lasting materials and build the base to resist rutting, washout and compaction, keeping day-to-day maintenance to a minimum. With regular harrowing and occasional top-ups, your gallop will keep performing season after season.

Custom Fencing to Fit Your Gallop Design

From white plastic running rails to traditional post and rail, we fit fencing that guides horses safely along the track and suits the setting. Running rails are designed to give if a horse makes contact, reducing the risk of injury at speed. We'll recommend the right option for each section, including bends and turn-ins.

Full Site Survey and Professional Consultation

Every project starts with a free site visit. We'll walk the route with you, assess the terrain, soil and drainage, and advise on the ideal length, surface and layout for your horses and workload. Our own laser-guided grading equipment then sets the levels precisely, whether we're building a new gallop or resurfacing an existing one.

Expert Gradient and Corner Radius Planning

Gradient and bends make or break a gallop. We plan the incline to build fitness without overloading horses, and design corner radii that let horses keep a balanced stride at speed. Getting these right at the design stage means a safer gallop and better results from every training session.

Experienced Team with Equestrian Insight

All of our staff are directly employed and come from equestrian or agricultural backgrounds. We own all of our plant, machinery and transport, so once we start on site we work continuously through to completion. Our team understands horses too, and will pause machinery whenever needed so we never spook the horses on your yard.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

For the construction of a horse gallop, you will tend to need planning permission, considering they take up long stretches of land and can change the land from purely agricultural to land used for equestrian purposes. You will need to contact your local authority if this applies to you.

Gallops can be made from various materials such as turf, sand, rubber, and synthetic fibres. Different equestrians will have differing preferences but if you're sure of the ground material you perform best on, we can accommodate that in the build of your gallop.

 The longer a gallop is, the more it will cost to build. Other factors involved in pricing are the land that a gallop is built on and the materials that are used. This will typically range within the tens of thousands for construction but specific quoting will happen with an on-site survey.

The length of a gallop track varies depending on how land is used, but for training purposes, tracks can range up to a mile. Shorter tracks can be used, but in the case of what we build, we will need to understand more about how you plan on using the gallop and what your horses are typically comfortable with.
