ONE of the most enjoyable invitations each year is to visit Lanwades Stud during the December Sales and to see the stallion’s parade.

Kirsten Rausing and her team offer an opportunity to see the horses in a relaxed atmosphere, and the quartet of sires, all at different stages of their stud journey, were shown by head stallion man James Eustace, who has just completed 11 seasons at the farm, and by Peter Manuel who has looked after Sir Percy for the past five stud seasons.
