We have a jumping/racing/ training facility in the scenic Clyde Valley region of South Lanarkshire. We have 18 internal stables, and a 40 x 60m outdoor arena, with jumps. We also have access to off road hacking, and our own gallop track. We ride and produce horses for all disciplines, mainly showjumping, and also train some of our own racehorses. We break some young horses and produce them to go on in whatever discipline they are most suited to. Most of our jumping horses we have broken and produced ourselves. We take in horses for training and schooling, and for sale on behalf of clients Currently we have a mixture of young horses just starting out competing, older more established horses, and racehorses. We have a British Showjumping Accredited Coach who teaches all over Scotland and North England as well as at home. He also has his permit to train racehorses and we have 3 of our own horses in training at any one time.
