At the heart of Brisbane’s vibrant racing scene, Barry Lockwood Racing has long been dedicated to providing exceptional care for their equine athletes. Recently, the team undertook an important upgrade at their Eagle Farm stables: the installation of specialized tie-up matting. This project not only enhances the comfort of the horses but also improves the overall functionality of the facility.



Why Tie-Up Matting Matters

Tie-up matting is designed to create a safe and comfortable environment for horses during pre-race preparations. Traditional surfaces can often be hard, slippery, or uneven, which can lead to stress and potential injuries for the horses.

By investing in high-quality matting, Barry Lockwood Racing aims to mitigate these risks and promote the well-being of their equine charges.

Commitment to Excellence

The installation of tie-up matting is just one of the many ways Barry Lockwood Racing demonstrates its commitment to excellence in horse care. This initiative reflects their understanding that a comfortable, safe environment is vital for optimal performance. By investing in innovative products like tie-up matting, they are not only prioritising the welfare of their horses but also enhancing their training and preparation processes.

Looking Ahead

As Barry Lockwood Racing continues to evolve and adapt to the needs of their equine athletes, projects like the tie-up matting installation at Eagle Farm set a benchmark for quality and care in the racing industry. With a focus on safety, comfort, and performance, they are paving the way for a new standard in equine care.

In conclusion, the completed tie-up matting project is a significant step forward for Barry Lockwood Racing. It not only enhances the daily operations at Eagle Farm but also reflects a broader commitment to ensuring that every horse in their care receives the best possible environment to thrive.
