An original stud card dated 1867 hangs proudly on our hall of fame! Our origins date back to that year, making us one of the oldest family-owned and managed studs in the country. In recent months, the stud has been in the headlines, due to the success of Fayette County, sired by our stallion Golden Lariat. 

Horses have been a part of my life from the day I was born and there is a story told of an early encounter as a baby. My mother had taken me outside for some sunshine, when a horse came over and poked it’s head in my pram.
