Our facilities
comprise of 50 acres of grazing, surrounded by our own 10 acres of woodland,
11 stables and 4 foaling boxes. Our paddocks range in size from small
nursery paddocks for mares and their new-born foals, to larger paddocks
providing plenty of room for older foals and yearlings to graze and
stretch - an ideal setting for relaxing young horses and broodmares.
We have
extended our facilities this year with an extra 25 acres of grazing
with stabling to increase our facility for boarding mares or horses
out of training/resting.
Our
aim is to provide a friendly, relaxed but professional service to all
our clients. Some of our clients are first time breeders and we are
pleased to be able to offer our services and give free advice, regardless
of whether you are using our Stud facilities or not.
We
welcome you to our web site and encourage you to explore the many opportunities
available here at Eldon Stud.
