Born into a family steeped in the traditions of horseracing, Tom Lacey served his apprenticeship breaking-in and schooling young horses under the legendary Captain Charles Radclyffe. He worked as a pupil assistant trainer in two prominent National Hunt stables, and rode successfully in Point-to-Points, having twenty-seven winners. He then progressed to become Head Lad for one of the country's leading flat trainers.
Tom's combined experiences have taught him not only the hard realities of the racing world we all inhabit, but shown him the advantages to be obtained from correct schooling at any point of a horse's working life. Time and again, he has found that the dedicated application and refining of traditional methods brings sure results: improved muscle tone from an exclusive diet of top quality feeds, and concentrated exercise; guaranteed elimination of the horses' tendency to be on their forehand by patient long-reining and schooling.
