Lord Ben Farm was originally designed and developed as a breaking and pre-training centre for thoroughbred race horses. Dr Geoff Chapman was instrumental in developing a functional and top class facility which was financed by the then prominent owner Mr. John Denoon.
The farm boasts a 1600 metre turf track and 1400 metre all-weather sand track which are both suitable to pre-train racehorses right up to fast work stage. Barriers are there to make sure all young horses accept and are confident to load into them. At times, the older horses are worked out in big, rolling paddocks in order to give them a break from the track as they are getting fit.
Greg McNamara, the principal of Crown Park Training Centre is an experienced horseman and provides a full service to all racehorse owners, starting with weaning of foals, yearling preparation for sales, breaking-in, educating, pre-training and spelling. Problem horses are catered for by Greg and his competent staff.
The method adopted by Crown Park Training Centre is a combination of traditional techniques and modern natural Horsemanship for a highly successful result.
