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.

Jamie Magee, Magee Equine, Breaking and Pre-Training
I have worked with Tom and his team at Tomley Projects over a number of years on various projects. During the last 12 months they have been fundamental to the transformation of my new property; putting in a new entrance, fencing paddocks and installing a circular 1.5 furlong gallop and a 3 furlong straight gallop. Tom and his team are very professional, all of the work has been completed on schedule and on budget and I could not be happier with the results!
