Goodwood Testing

Tested at:

Shadwell Estate Co Ltd – Nunnery Stud and Melton Paddocks
The Royal Studs

We have received the following comments from the test sites :

We couldn’t believe how easily our Thoroughbred foals walked onto the Goodwood, and stayed on it. We were amazed when we weighed 20 foals in just 30 minutes, out in the paddocks. So much time has been saved, as well as less stress for all the foals and mares.”

We very much like the Goodwood, it is very accurate, light, so mobile and incredibly quiet for the horses; the astroturf is a great surface for our Thoroughbreds to walk onto, as it is so quiet; the Goodwood is so close to the ground, the foals hardly realize they are walking onto it”

The Goodwood has been rigorously tested for three months during the foaling and covering season, from April to June inclusive, leading up to its launch at the Coronation Festival, at Buckingham Palace. It was also tested by Thoroughbred stallions at the Nunnery Stud and Melton Paddocks, where Thoroughbred and Arab racehorse rehabilitation horses were weighed, as well as unraced youngsters. Differing weighing surfaces were used on gentle gradients, and it was found that the accuracies as well as the ease of use of the Goodwood, were retained.
