The stud is managed by Nicky Willis who has worked most of her life in the entertainment industry.

We train both horse and rider for all manner of unusual disciplines, from dragon fighting mounts for St George and English Heritage, through full contact jousting at the royal armouries, to ladies dainty steeds at the Victorian gymkhana and stocky native bred chariot ponies for Dark age re-enactment or Roman Chariot races.

We train individuals or groups in all historical periods of mounted skill at arms, emphasising horse welfare and riding skill as well as historical accuracy.

Nicky is an experienced carriage and chariot driver.

Several of our staff are trained with weapons and armour of many periods.

Extensive lands around the yard allow us to have several temporary camp sites available simultaneously, and we are in the process of installing showers, toilets and a club room.

The land backs onto a long-distance circular bridleway across country for those who wish to venture further a-field or organise a cavalry patrol.
