Testimonials with Full Case Studies
Jockey Club Estates
50 x 30m Arena and 1½ Furlong Oval Schooling Lane, Mandown Gallops, Lambourn
“From the design to implementation, Tom has been extremely helpful and accommodating along the way… The build was challenging as it was centrally located on the gallops which remained in use by over 700 racehorses daily… Tom’s team were courteous and flexible to our customer’s needs at all times. I would have no hesitation but to recommend Tomley Projects for all civils and equestrian construction needs.”
Will Riggall, Jockey Club Estates
Richard Hughes Racing
16m Lunge Ring with 2.1m Boarded Surround and Viewing Platform
“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.”
Richard Hughes Racing, Racehorse Trainer
Rural Estate Stock Fencing

“Tomley Projects recently completed a large fencing project. The team were very professional from the initial consultation through to the end of the project. Their tender was competitive, and I felt that I was getting value for money. Tom was always on hand to answer questions and to offer other options.”

Manège including all Groundworks and Drainage
“I could not be more pleased to give Tom Bowlby a reference with regards to our project and work undertaken to build a manège including all groundworks and drainage. Both himself and his team have been a joy to watch working with the utmost care and attention and I could not recommend him more strongly for any future work.”
Jamie Magee, Magee Equine, Breaking and Pre-Training
New Entrance, Paddock Fencing, 1.5 Furlong Circular Gallop and 3 Furlong Straight Gallop
“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!”
Joe O’Neill, Racing Manager, O’Neill Racing
Gallop Resurfacing
“We highly recommend Tomley Projects to anyone; all the work was done with minimal fuss, on time and expertly finished. Tom was a gentleman to deal with as well as his team and we will be back in touch when we do the other gallops on site.”
Ian Barratt, Owner, Barratt Equestrian
Gallop Construction
“Tom and team were absolutely fantastic to work with from start to finish. Their knowledge and expertise was invaluable during the planning phase, and the attention to detail when it came to building our gallop was first class. Tom was extremely pro-active in terms of ideas and updates throughout the process and this gave us a huge level of confidence at all times. We are absolutely delighted with the end product. We would highly recommend Tomley Projects Ltd to anyone considering a project large or small and will certainly by using them again ourselves.”
Jamie and Lucy Snowden, Owners, Jamie Snowden Racing
Oak-Framed Pergola, Oak Sleeper Retaining Wall, Closeboard Fencing and Lawn Reseed at a working racing yard
“We’re absolutely delighted with the work that Tom, Hayley and the team have done for us. They were very professional throughout, neat & tidy, sensitive to the going-ons around them (bringing heavy machinery through a working racing yard isn’t easy!). Working from ideas in my head rather than from actual plans, the end product is exactly what we wanted. Not afraid to advise where they saw pitfalls, we addressed these head on and therefore things ran smoothly from start to finish. I’d highly recommend Tomley Projects.”
Oliver Nash, Stud Manager, Mildmay Farm & Stud
Stud Paddock Fencing with Keepsafe® and Post & Rail
“Tom, Hayley, and their team always do a wonderful job, that’s quick and very neat. With their equine background, they understand the safety aspects on stud fencing paddocks, which is very important to me.”
Andrew Stevens, E & D G Stevens
16km of Stock Fencing
“We have just had near to 16km of stock fencing completed by Tomley Projects Ltd. The terrain and vegetation were challenging at times but Tom was unfazed by this and was able to guide or manage a solution. We are very pleased with the outcome and are looking to use Tom again.”
