What is the winning ingredient? The combination of warm, dry air with cooler mornings contributes to the health of a young and old horse, alike. Our winter season, in particular, is ideal for training horses. The cold snaps encourage them to grow a winter coat, which they shed in the spring. Their natural response to the season makes then strong and hearty.

The track surface is renowned. The Aiken Training Track offers a nice, quiet setting for older horses and enough activity to prepare your 2 yearolds for the races.

Horses can train the opposite way on our 5/8 mile training track, gallop on the infield grass, hack out on the clay roads which surround the barns and track, experience a trail ride in the 2300 acre Hitchcock Woods or even do gymnastics or cavaletti poles in a nearby jump field. Trainers appreciate the options offered at our facility.

Numerous top notch veterinarians, therapists and farriers service our facility. Several, dependable tack and feed stores are nearby . On site tack repair is offered by our well known “Saddle Doctor” and delicious breakfasts are served at “Pocket’s” track kitchen.
