Welcome to Tarnside Racing Stables...

We are a small training establishment based in some of the most idylic surroundings in Cumbria. Maurice Barnes and his team take considerable pride in the way they train their horses, with a relaxed and enjoyable environment the key factor.
Those looking to get more involved in the sport should come and see what we have to offer. It need not cost a fortune to be in the winners enclosure, as Pikestaff (shown here), proved by winning by 20 lengths at Hexam recently.

Stables & Gallops...
Tarnside Racing Stables are situated in beautiful countryside surroundings, with good open gallops and suitable terrain.
1979 Grand National...
Three horses jumped the last with a chance of victory, but all were tired and on the run to the line it was the stout-hearted Rubstic (Maurice Barnes) who stayed on strongest.
Tarnside Lodges...
Just off the beaten track, on a working farm, the location is idyllic - a real home from home, with superb views over Talkin Tarn.
