Castle Stud

Well I should start by saying Happy New Year!!! Weve recently relocated to new premises 1 mile from my old base after a sad 15 years with lots of blood, sweat and years at Denne court farm but unfortunatly its now having house built on the premises. But we have been extreamly lucky and honoured to be offered a fantastic yard 1 mile down the road so we are still based in Eastry, it hasnt been used for many years so has been extremly hard work to get in back up and running. But i am very pleased with our progress and as time goes on, there will be more and more improvements. I cannot thank everybody around my for their continued help and support throughout the transistion and we look forward to a very sucessful 2018

Sorry for the lack of updates had a few laptop troubles, but here are a few pictures insight to the team over the summer months.

Weve had our first shire in for backing that turned into a dressage star, various summer competitons with many results and all the young horses going very well. lots of horses in for backing and training. lots of xcountry clinics and pole clinics.

Now the clipping has started ready for the winter season to commence...

Hello

sorry for the lack of updates we have all been very busy, with some beuatiful horses in for training and backing/re-backing. we have had a 4yo ex-racer tb in for rebacking that had several mental and physical issues that is now going very well just after 4 wk and visits from physio, chiro and vet and correct work.

We have also had a very nice 4yo well bred gelding in for sale that was from returning clients and he was quite sharp but we quiet and carefully backed him and have faith he has a huge future ahead of him!

We currently have the stunning 4yo elsa in for backing who is the sweetest mare i have ever met!

Our own mare Hifa by Arezzo vdl x indoctro is also now starting to be broken and hacking nicely and starting school work and our own Moet has started her training and hope to get her out to some shows in a month or so...

Unfortunatly we have had some terrible news recently and had to have our lovely 5yo Bella put down so we are all extreamly upset after having her since a 2yo.

We will be visiting belgium and on the look out for some new horses...

We have also been busy painting all our jumps ready for the summer jump field and ordered a hot wash unit.

We look forward to a busy 2016...

We now welcome the gorgeous darcy in for sale on behalf of her owner. She around 16.1hh warmblood mare, been to a few shows and behaved beautiful always in the ribbons, very nice model and pretty, could turn her hoof to anything!

Absolutley gorgeous new 6yo in for sale on behalf of client:

Undiscovered diamond!!! this homebred rising 6yo AES warmblood gelding around 16.3/17hh has got super potential, he had an easy life due to amatuer owners/breeders over horsed and having three children but this horse is really something special! His canter and trot is fantastic considering he is weak and not fully developed yet! He is nicely bred including Jasper x ramiro lines, vice free and lovely boy. Good to box shoe catch, up to date with vacs. For sale on behalf of client.

Ekk so excited, my beautiful new hat, thank you so much Amy @ Cork farm!!

**Sorry for the lack of recent updates since Christmas, we have been so busy i havent had chance to update my website!**

We have had some beautiful young horses in for backing for clients, two have come in for backing and have been completed within 6weeks, i will attach some pictures below of the gorgous customers:  

This is Sherry and Pie, two very well bred, extremely talented rising 4yos that both came in

pretty wild when they arrived and pie was very nervous when he arrived and absolutely petrified of a bridle and he come to gain trust in me and over the weeks he progressed from strenght to strenght and left fully backed and happy:

Daisy was with me for 3weeks, her new owner hgad brought her from a field and she had been off for 18months due to old owner at uni she is 6yo irish sports horse and she was a pleasure to work with pictures shown her of her first jumps and schooling nicely on her last day with us...

Leyla was only with me 3weeks and she progressed very well. She had only ever been sat on and walked out on hacks so knew nothing and when she left she was working lovely!

Murphy cames to us to be broken a few years ago and then his owner approached me with the sad decision that she needed to sell him due to having a baby, he is a beautiful, smart, talented chap who i really like. He was in on sales livery and now sold to a very nice family home.

Its been a very exciting few months and we have been extreamly busy!!!

First of all we have been abroad shopping for future stars and have brought a couple of lovely youngsters with world class blood lines and potential!

Secondly I have been away on holiday in Eygpt for 10 amazing days and

Thirdly I HAVE GOT ENGAGED!!! extreamly excited and looking forward to the future!!!... We are very very busy through to january 2016 so shall be updating all the latest news and horses in for training and sale

Many thanks

cedrick was with us for a month for breaking and he was quite tricky, proving very sharp but when he left he was going super! Pictures from his first walk out, first time sitting on him and then him schooling nicely before he left...
