Bolton Mill

Situated on the edge of the peaceful village of Bolton, Bolton Mill is the home of Lizzie Quinlan Racing.

Following extensive research into some of the countries leading training facilities, Bolton Mill has undergone major investment and improvements over the last three years. These include the installation of a state of the art 3 furlong round sand gallop, grass gallops, a 40 x 60 outdoor arena and a new block of well ventilated stables but warm stables.

We are confident our facilities rival them all.

We are passionate about keeping the horses interested in their work, and therefore make good use of the vast array of tracks for hacking, which are right on our doorstep. We use these in conjunction with the gallop facilities, to give the horses a change of scenery and keep their minds healthy.

Schooling is also a key part of our routine, and our impressive schooling lane is a regular part of our training regime, as well as the hurdles and chase fences on the grass, and a selection of barrels and poles in our arena. It’s a great benefit to have schooling facilities on a number of surfaces, they’re a hugely valuable asset and one that gets plenty of use.

We have masses of good grazing land at Bolton Mill in peaceful and quiet surroundings, and make good use of it turning our horses out as often as we can. We are confident regular turnout has massive benefits to the wellbeing of our horses, both in mind and body - doesn’t everyone love some sun on their back!

We have a mix of internal and external stables, all of which are spacious with good ventilation and comfortable, deep shaving beds. Our tack room, feed room, walker and wash down area are conveniently close, ensuring each horse enjoys the highest level of comfort.

Our small, close knit team pride themselves on exceptional levels of care and attention to detail. The horses here are treated as individuals, we love getting to know them and their personalities and rest assured they are loved and cared for as if they’re our own.
