A warm welcome to my website, I hope it will give you a taste of my operation here in Upper Lambourn.

2010 saw some big changes for us.  Not least the move from Kingsdown to The Old Malthouse.  This has proved to be a positive one as the horses have thrived and resumed their winning ways.  We have now laid the foundations from which we can grow.

My older horses are housed ‘at home’ in The Old Malthouse.  The yard was formerly occupied by Nick Gaselee, from where he trained Party Politics to win the 1992 Grand National.  A converted farm, we have thirty recently renovated stables with a low key atmosphere in which horses relax and thrive.

My two year olds live half a mile away in Frenchman’s Barn.  They also benefit from a quiet environment and are close to the Kingsdown gallops – the best two year old facility in the village.

Lambourn generally has suffered quite severely from the economic downturn and we have not been immune.  However, the signs are good for the future.  With the Jockey Club’s continued investment in the training facilities we can claim to have the most extensive, diverse and well managed gallops anywhere in the UK, if not the world.

Facilities set in the beautiful Berkshire Downs, a million miles from the frenetic legions that populate the more urban environment of other training centres.

Obviously we are hoping to increase the horse population in the village but Lambourn really is quiet countryside training and this will never change.

Lambourn is secondary to Newmarket in size only.  There is nothing secondary about training here.  It has almost become Racing’s best kept secret!
