Alan met his wife, Rachel, when they both worked for the ‘Duke’ and they were married in Antigua in 1997. They have a son Henry and a daughter Georgia.

He has trained to date, 1663 NH winners, 379 Flat winners and 33 Festival winners here at Barbury Castle Stables. Most recent renowned stable stars include Trueshan and Edwardstone.
