Heavily pregnant mares are beginning to fill the foaling stable in deep beds of warm straw at the Estate.

Excitement hangs in the air here at the Château. Everyone are looking forward to our second foal season, featuring a unique collection of some of the best young sporting mares in the world paired to some incredible exciting international dressage sires;  Grand Galaxy Win, Franklin, Revolution, Don Deluxe, Vincent Maranello and El Capone.

We are expecting 18 foals this season between late February and early July. The waiting game is an exercise in patience, of hours in the stable, a few sleepless nights, adrenaline rushes and time spent doing what we love most; welcoming stunning foals with little noses soft as silk, perfect for cuddles.
