Owners

Owners are welcome at all times.

"Throughout the 10 years I have had horses with John I have always been very happy with the attention given to my horses, both in terms of their welfare and their training needs. The individual attention they receive has given them their best chance of success. I have always found John to be openly honest in my dealings with him. He is always very happy to discuss my needs as an owner and I have always received a warm welcome when calling in. He and his team work very hard to ensure racing is a pleasure for the owner."  

"We have been nine years with John Gallagher and during that period we have had considerable success with horses (Mac Gille Eoin) (Tresor Secret) and manymore. John is a most competent and dedicated trainer and handles his horses with great care and attention."

"We have had horses with John & Becks now for almost 10 years, in that time we have become good friends and our Owner/Trainer relationship works very well. They have helped us immensely with our stepping tentatively into breeding as well as enjoying our horses and racing. We have never had any issues with invoicing and rates and are always in the know about what is happening to our horses on a day to day basis, which is very important to us as Owners."

"We are now in our ninth year at Grove Farm with John and Becky Gallagher. As a regular visitor at the yard I have always been made most welcome by the Gallaghers, the staff and even the dogs! Everyone is very friendly and it is a nice place to be, making the racehorse owning experience a pleasure. Notwithstanding visits, I am still kept up to date with gallop videos and on the phone. It is a happy yard fostering a good team ethic, with John and his team working hard for each other and the well being of the horses. The outcome of this is that we have had lots of success with John including multiple winners Andalusite (5), Intercessor (6) and First Encounter (3).  
I have always found John to be honest, fair and straightforward in all my dealings with him"  Mark - The LAM Partnership

"I have had racehorses and broodmares with John & Becky for over 20 years now and would never consider sending any of my horses elsewhere.Besides being hard working, diligent and extremely competent, John and Becky possess the vital ingredient that every owner needs to find in a trainer - honesty.The yard ensures that owning a race horse is fun, and John is very adept at improving modest horses into multiple winners - but he is also always honest and realistic as to the merits and prospects of any horse in his care.In addition, all of my broodmares are with John and Becky and their advice and assistance in potential matings and securing great value nominations has been worth its weight in gold.  In short, to any current or potential owner/breeder considering their training or breeding options I cannot recommend John Gallagher highly enough as their next or first trainer"   Andrew Bell
