Summer might seem like a quieter time in racing, but at Canter Banter Racing, the work never really stops. While many horses enjoy a break from the track, others are just beginning their journey — and that’s where the pre-training yard comes in.
We know that the right start makes all the difference. Our pre-training work bridges the gap between the field and the professional training yard, giving horses the education, strength, and confidence they need before moving on.
Each horse is brought on at its own pace, learning to settle into a routine, accept tack, long-rein, and build balance and muscle. The focus is always on calm, correct preparation — producing horses that arrive to their trainers well-mannered, well-muscled, and ready for the next stage of their careers.
With Katie’s grounding at Nicky Henderson’s and Dave’s experience in both Ireland and the UK, we bring a patient, hands-on approach to everything we do. We understand what a trainer wants to receive, and we take pride in sending horses forward in top condition, both physically and mentally.
Pre-training might not make headlines, but it’s the quiet, essential work that underpins every future success story, and it’s something we take great pride in doing well.
