It is hard to imagine from its current set up, but just over fifteen years ago Manor Farm Stables was a small training yard with 28 loose boxes and an uphill woodchip gallop.  It currently can accommodate up to 82 horses, has an eight-horse covered walker and two all-weather gallops. Prior to this transformation Manor Farm Stables was originally the dairy from which AJ & RG Barber's cheese business started.  The red brick stables and barn were originally stalls for dairy cows and our current Office was the Parlour. Wooden loose boxes have also been constructed to the rear of the Office from where previously only grass lay.  Gradually and consistently the yard has evolved and modernised with careful investment to become one of the top establishments for Champion racehorses. As part of the ongoing improvements here at Ditcheat, during summer 2011 market leader, Easyfix have fitted 13 stables with rubber floors and anti cast walling for us and we are happy with the results.  Although at significant cost, this is something we see as progression and modernisation and we will hopefully be able to install more at Manor Farm next year.  As a routine refurbishment, Easyfix have also fitted their hard wearing long-life matting to our horse-walkers.
