Frequently asked questions
Everything you might want to know before getting in touch.
Where is the stud based?
+
We are based in Ledbury, Herefordshire, on the western edge of the Malvern Hills. Full address and directions are shared once a viewing is confirmed.
Can I come and visit?
+
Yes — viewings are warmly welcomed by appointment. Please get in touch by phone or email so we can find a quiet time to show you the horses properly.
Are your horses vetted before sale?
+
All horses are sold subject to a 2- or 5-stage pre-purchase vetting by the buyer's vet of choice. We will recommend trusted local vets if you do not have one in the area.
Do you ship horses overseas?
+
Yes. We have shipped horses across the UK and to Europe (most recently Germany and the Netherlands) and can recommend reputable transporters and assist with the paperwork.
Can I reserve a foal in utero?
+
Reservations on confirmed pregnancies are accepted with a refundable deposit, subject to a live and healthy birth. We're transparent throughout and only reserve foals to homes we trust.
What bloodlines do you breed from?
+
We breed from modern dressage lines including Valentino, Glamourdale, Sezuan, Vivaldi, Fürstenball and Sandro Hit, paired with mares of proven sport-horse pedigree.
Do you offer stud services?
+
Our resident stallion stands at stud by private arrangement to a small number of selected mares each season. Please enquire for fees and availability.
How are your foals raised?
+
Foals are raised in a herd, out in the field, with daily handling from the day they're born. They are taught to lead, load, tie, clip and stand for the farrier before they leave us.
