The Equestrian Business
The current owners run a successful stud breeding and producing dressage horses with an impressive 24-year career. Horses bred and raised at the stud have been successful from young horse championships through to international Grand Prix, including the British team. The equestrian yard has been cleverly designed to keep the running of the business simple and less labour-intensive with the least amount of disruption and stress to the horses.

The Land
A level ring-fenced land holding which has been created to work in conjunction with the equestrian yard with safe cornered post and railed paddocks, turn-out fields and grassland tracks for easy access and maintenance. In addition to the Equestrian business, the owners have taken great care to create wildlife areas, encouraging biodiversity and, along with minimal artificial inputs allow flora and fauna to thrive. Beyond the formal field pattern are planted woodlands, a natural water-fed lake and a large fodder field to provide haylage production for the business.
