Safe, Efficient Exercise Spaces for Every Yard.
We design and install high-quality horse walkers and lunge rings that improve daily horse management and conditioning – built with strength, safety, and longevity in mind.
Built for Controlled Exercise
Controlled exercise is essential to the health and training of every horse. From warm-ups to rehab, horse walkers and lunge rings provide a safe and consistent way to move your horses when time or weather limits turnout or ridden exercise. Our purpose-built spaces integrate seamlessly into your yard, designed for ease of use, durability, and safety – day in, day out.

Our Build Process
Site Visit & Space Assessment: We evaluate your available land, access, gradient, and how the space will integrate with your current setup.
Design and Specification: You’ll receive layout plans and structural options to suit your exercise needs, land conditions, and preferences.
Groundworks & Base Installation: We handle excavation, level setting, drainage, membrane laying, and surfacing to create a safe, solid foundation.
Walker or Ring Construction: We build and install the frame, railings, motor system (if applicable), fencing, and canopy structures to specification.
Finishing, Testing & Handover: We test all moving parts, gates, and surfacing, hand over the finished setup, and provide guidance on maintenance and usage.
Richard Hughes Racing, Racehorse Trainer
The lunge ring has quickly become an essential part of our routine, particularly for breakers and rehab work, and provides a safe, focused environment for the horses to work in. The addition of the viewing platform is a great touch too, allowing us to observe sessions clearly without being in the ring. The Tomley team were great to work with and delivered exactly what we were looking for. We couldn’t be happier with the finished result.
