Overview

Thorne Farm is situated in its own picturesque valley in Mid-Devon being only 10 minutes from the historic market town of Tiverton.

A Grand National winning jockey with 40 years experience in racing, Nigel’s philosophy of plenty of fresh air, paddock turnout, open windows, routine exercise and specialised feeding regimes produces contented and thriving horses. An ethos of thinking outside the box has produced a wonderful platform on which Nigel trains both young and experienced racehorses to success.
