THE TEAM MISSION STATEMENT

      The horses of course. They are the reason that we are all here.

TIVOLI FARM

Situated in the rolling Virginian Hills surrounded by woodland, and nestled into its surroundings hides the tranquil Tivoli. Approached by a long shaded driveway Tivoli offers the ultimate in horse heaven.

The natural facilities lend themselves to the training and producing of top young eventing horses. And for the older campaigner, the perfect ambience for freshening and revitalising old enthusiasms.

As far as the eye can see the ninety acres of established pastures are verdant and green.

All fencing around the seven paddocks consists of immaculate white railings, perfect for safe, secure grazing and training. Two gallops, both just longer than three furlongs run up the hill over established old turf. The turf is frequently aerated to maintain the quality of the going. Ultimately Will hopes to put an all weather surface gallop in place of the turf.

THE BARNS

The barn itself is large, airy and well ventilated. Horses have dual views from their stalls with doors opening into the barn, with additional views through outside doors, allowing for plenty of natural ventilation and cool temperatures in the hot summer months.

The construction of the barns also means that in the winter the stalls are warm with the top doors closed but still allowing a view out over the property. Therefore reducing the risk of boredom and the development of bad habits. The horses are happy, healthy, content and entertained.

 

The primary barn at Tivoli contains twelve stalls, each measuring a spacious 12ft x 12ft. Two wash stalls and a Solarium, completed by an office and a large tack room, where tack for each horse is kept for their individual use. Another barn just a short distance further down the street contains another six stalls with run-in sheds and paddocks. 

The entire presentation of Tivoli is carefully thought out and maintained to perfection. From the landscaping of the flowerbeds, to each horses bedding. Every aspect of the horses care is thought of and their mental well being firmly at the top of the list of priorities.


Each horse has an individual program and care regime. And those needs are worked around. If a horse needs 24 hour turnout in order to perform at their best, they get it. If a horse needs to be ridden three times a day then that is what happens. At Tivoli, the horses are the people.

THE RING

The 26,000 square foot all purpose school has a new Wordley and Martin surface, regularly maintained and watered to prevent dust rising. The irrigation system is in-built to ensure year round good going.  This beautiful light sand mixture is used extensively at many World Cup Show Jumping sites throughout Europe. It was when Will was riding in Holland that he identified the surface as being the one he chose above all others for Tivoli.

 

The shape of the school means that it can be used for any purpose, and does not automatically mean schooling/dressage. A concrete curbed border ensures that the surface does not spread and shift creating any false patches. The horses always  approach their work with a ‘What are we doing now…’ attitude, thanks to the design of the area.

A huge collection of Show jumps, including various fillers and trays ensures that the horses get to see everything in preparation for any obstacle any course builder could ever present them with.

THE LAND

The land surrounding the barn contains a wide variety of natural obstacles which pose any number of questions.

Skinnies, water, combinations, angles, and different terrains.

Ideal for introducing the youngster to cross country fences, and for refreshing a seasoned campaigner. 

The Gallops follow the natural contours of the land and the natural undulation gives the horses a thorough work-out.

 

 

THE TRANSPORT

The horses are transported in a six horse van, which boasts Air-Ride, a camera system and every mod con required to provide smooth, safe and comfortable transportation. The 2002 International also comes complete with Living Accommodation and an eight foot pop-out extension. 

OUR FUTURE PLANS

Future plans for Tivoli include the installation of a ceiling mounted six horse walker, with rubber floor matting, and a 15 metre central lungeing area for use when starting youngsters. An additional barn on the property will house eight more stalls.

Tivoli is absolutely committed to building onto it's existing world class status. The staff at Tivoli are themselves World Class and seasoned in the application of and use of Laser Therapy, Equissage and ice wraps, and every aspect of general horse care.
