Kilmory Castle, Home Farm, Horse Exercise Ring

Horse Exercise Ring (19th Century)

What is recorded here

Kilmory Castle, Home Farm, Horse Exercise Ring is a 19th-century horse exercise ring in Argyll and Bute, Scotland, where a horse might have paced in circles while a rider sat quiet, listening for the sound of hooves on packed earth. The ring belongs to the estate, not to chance, and its shape suggests repetition, practice, and patience. A horse learning balance would have needed a steady hand and a clear edge, and the ring gives both.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Kilmory Castle, Home Farm, Horse Exercise Ring as Horse Exercise Ring (19th Century).
