Testimonials

Paul Nicholls

“We have two Martin Collins all weather, synthetic gallops and they are essential for our year round training. The hot, dry weather we have had this summer or wet/freezing conditions in the winter pose no problems for us – it’s business as usual with Geltrack. The supportive fibres in the surface help keeps the horses sound and we can change the going to increase fitness levels if required. When considering a surface, the smart money is on Martin Collins…”

Greg Rudolph, CEO, Hawkesbury Race Club

"We installed our Polytrack training track in July 2018 and it works incredibly well at Hawkesbury where we have cold winters and very hot summers. The general consensus is very positive wiht excellent feedback and the Polytrack surface is performing very well"

William Fox-Pitt

“I am very fortunate to have a Martin Collins Activ-Track surface on my gallop. It is an essential facility for getting my horses fit throughout the year and cold, wet or dry spells no longer interrupt my training. There is never a day I can’t use my gallop, and this is invaluable to me.”

Richard johnson

"Jonjo has built his career around doing everything possible to get the horses at Jackdaws to relax and develop to the best of their ability. It's no surprise to see them use Martin Collins surfaces. They will help them do the very best for their owners."

Dane Rawlins

The surfaces at Dressage at Hickstead have always been Martin Collins. We replaced them in 2017 and have had tremendous feedback from everyone who competes here. We wouldn't use anyone else for our surfaces

Uliano Vezzani

International course builder for the London 2017 Longines Global Champions Tour commented “Here in London now this is the best ground for me. Because the horses are very comfortable and this is important."

David Broome

"It was a pleasure doing business with Martin Collins Enterprises. I was extremely impressed with their total professionalism. Our new Fibretrack surface has received great feedback from all the riders who compete here at Mount Ballan, Wales and West Showground."

Laura Tomlinson

"A good quality surface is hugely important when you are riding and training top class dressage horses. We train on a Martin Collins surface at home and to compete at a venue on a Martin Collins surface is fantastic as it gives me the confidence that we can perform to the best of our ability"

Ben Maher

"Many surfaces abroad lack the bounce and stbility of a waxed surface, and without that, you can ofter undermine a horse's confidence. Show jumpers would describe a 'dead' surface as one when you don't get a push off the floor. on Ecotrack you can place a horse better, the ground is level, they get the same feeling over a jump and the horse can do a better job."

Henrietta Knight

We are delighted with our Ecotrack Gallop. It is an even surface that appears to withstand all types of weather. The horses and jockeys love it."

Caulfield Racecourse, Melbourne Racing Club

Jason Kerr, General manager of Racecourses at Melbourne Racing Club, Australia commented, "Overall the Martin Collins Polytrack is far superior to any other synthetic surface I have come across during my 25 years of Racecourse Management."

Katelyn Malleyon

Jockey Katelyn Mallyon about the Polytrack surafce at Pakenham racecourse, Melbourne, Australia. "It’s good — it’s definitely different to anything else I’ve ridden on. There’s no kickback or anything like that and the track is playing even, which everyone likes to see."

Sharon Hunt

"I am absolutely delighted with the Ecotrack surface it has been a complete game changer here! I looked at nearly every company and Martin Collins came out on top by miles. I can’t tell you how pleased I am with the quality, service and how good the horses feel on it.”
