Mark Johnston Racing has an impressive range of facilities all within each reach of the yards. This is certainly a factor which contributes to the success of Mark Johnston Racing.
MJR has recently upgraded its own training facilities by bulding a Tapeta All-Weather gallop at Park Farm.
Three grass gallops are also in use at Park Farm.
Equine swimming pool
Swimming can be very important to horses recovering from injury, as it enables the trainer to keep a horse reasonably fit without aggravating an injury. Most horses take naturally to swimming and don't seem to mind the fact that they are merely swimming round in circles. The equine swimming pool is situated in the Kingsley House yard and many visitors are intrigued to see horses using this facility.
Automated exercisers
Automated exercisers are used to supplement training. They are ideally suited to help horses that cannot be ridden due to an injury, or require extra exercise in order to achieve peak fitness.
Fully qualified veterinary surgeons
The health of all of the horses in training is always of paramount concern to the staff at Mark Johnston Racing. Mark is a fully qualified veterinary surgeon and we employ 2 further vets as a full time members of staff. There is no charge on top of the training fees for the veterinary work provided.
Weighing We are also equipped with weighing bridges. The weight of a horse is an important indicator of how quickly they recover after a race and how much has been taken out of them by running. This can be used to plan ahead to aim for the best race possible.
