The breeze-ups consigned by Emma O'Gorman are kept at father Bill's Seven Springs stables in Newmarket. Renowned as one of the nicest yards in town, it has excellent breaking facilities and is in an enviable position being only 200 yards from the racecourse side of the heath. All of the breaking & riding is done by Emma and partner Armando. The yearlings are out on the Heath almost straight away being exposed to a training environment. They all take this in their strides, so breeze-up day is no big deal to them!
Initial breaking is done on the premises using a lunge pit (60' x 40') and large enclosed schooling area (110' x 40'). The schooling area is surrounded by a 100yd trotting ring and all have polytrack surfaces. There are also practice starting stalls. The Racecourse side of Newmarket has excellent training facilities which are used in the breeze-up horses' day-to-day training. These include polytrack, equitrack, viscose, woodchip, sand and various grass canters and gallops. Emma's aim is to produce happy, well-mannered horses ready to go into serious training. Conditioning fitness enables the horses to breeze well at the sales without being galloped at home.
All of Emma's purchases are turned out at Longholes Stud in Newmarket until after New Year to mature, socialise with one another and let-down after their yearling sales prep. Emma has no doubt that this is the ideal preparation as all have been happily ridden away very quickly and have a progressive run to the sales. Emma wants to produce sound, mentally stable horses to sell on and is happy to give a truthful case history for any horse she sells. | View Horses | |
