LIKE every other consignor, we at Calluna House Stud welcomed Tuesday’s confirmation of revised dates for the Tattersalls and Goffs Store Sales. Having been left in no man’s land following the initial postponement of the Derby and May Sales, it was imperative for the industry to receive clarification.

As a young and ambitious couple, my husband Jamie Steele and I, are working hard to get our feet firmly on the ladder by developing the stud farm. We buy foals to stores and in recent years have also branched out to recruit some good broodmares to breed from.
