Overview

We are a beautiful stud farm based in Silverstone—known not only for the F1 Grand Prix, but also for producing and caring for exceptional racehorses.

Our 300-acre stud is home to thoroughbreds of all ages, from conception through to retirement—we truly do it all. We pride ourselves on being a bespoke operation, where every horse is treated as an individual to ensure the very best care, whether they are here to foal, rehabilitate from injury, grow up, be rehomed, or retire. Our small, dedicated team gives each horse everything they need.

We have fantastic facilities, including 24/7 cameras in our foaling boxes, an indoor school and lunge ring, a horse walker, a well-equipped veterinary setup, and a beautiful maternity unit.

What to expect

We hope to give visitors an insight into as much of what we do as possible. Our veterinary team will be on hand to answer any questions and may also carry out a scan on a mare as a demonstration. Our farrier will be on site to carry out a live shoeing demonstration. Visitors will have the opportunity to meet some of our lovely retired racehorses for cuddles and treats. Foals will be in the yard and available to meet. The yard will be open to walk around, with members of the team available throughout the day to answer any questions. Syndicate managers will be present to talk through ownership options for anyone who may be interested. Food and drink will be available, with a percentage of proceeds going to charity. There will also be a number of competitions with some great prizes to be won. If the bees have been productive, our own honey will also be available for sale. And much more!
