AN exciting new chapter lies in store for ArkEquine managing director Richard Young and his team after it was announced he has acquired the equine premises formerly known as Deer Forest Stud in Co Kildare.

Previously owned by Luca Somaini, the Newbridge operation complements another recent purchase in the area for the equine solutions company boss, having also acquired Bert House Stud in Athy towards the end of 2022.
