Barry Hills was born in Worcester on April 2nd 1937. In 1969 Barry started his training career at South Bank in Lambourn where he stayed for 17 years before moving to Manton in Wiltshire.

In 1990 Barry returned to South Bank and in 1994 started to build a new modern yard comprising of 3 barns and a large indoor ride.

Since that time the state of the art facilities have continued to expand, showing visual benefit in the performance of the horses and resulting in 2001 being his best ever season in prize money achieved.

Barry Hills believes this is the most up to date racehorse training establishment in Great Britain.

He is proud of the fact that a significant proportion of his current owners have had long-term associations with him ranging from 5 to 28 years.

Since 1969, Barry has trained over 2,400 winners at home and abroad.

Facilities

The training complex centres around three large barns, which house over 130 horses in total.

The barns are fully insulated to ensure the horses are protected from su

dden changes in climate. Special emphasis has been placed on a system of natural ventilation.

Barry believes that natural lighting is an important component in the physiological development of his young horses and therefore apart from the louvre windows, there is also clear roof lighting.

Other Facilities

Lagoons store rainwater collected from the roofs, which is used to water the nearby gallops during the summer months

Two mechanical horse walkers.
