We are a sports horse stud in Nottinghamshire with a herd of quality Trakehner and warmblood mares. We use the very best Trakehner/warmblood competition stallions for our mares, selected from studs and competition yards all over the UK. Our aim is to make a small but significant contribution to British breeding, by using proven competition bloodlines from a selection of the best warmblood breeds.  All our broodmares are carefully selected for their pedigrees, temperaments, comformation and competition history. Our best mares are pink-papered, branded and graded with their appropriate breed society. Lucy has a Bachelor of Science degree in Equine Studies, a National Certificate in Horse Management and a National Diploma in Horse Business Studies. She also has various BHS exams, riding and road safety qualifications and has taught children and adults to ride in the UK and in Switzerland. She has worked in two Olympic dressage yards near Zurich, Switzerland, for riders Doris and Daniel Ramseier, where she rode Grand Prix dressage horses every day. Besides from horse riding Lucy loves swimming, running and cycling and has recently taken up triathlons. She raced in four sprint triathlons during 2008 and one Olympic distance triathlon and ranked highly amongst her age category. Jon is a journalist by profession and now runs his own media relations consultancy business alongside his journalism. As a journalist, he specialises mainly in agriculture and countryside matters. Foals are available at weaning but can be secured by a deposit after birth. Details of our pregnant broodmares can be found on the saxelby broodmares page. Once viewed, a foal/horse can be secured by a 10% deposit. Unless otherwise arranged, the buyer then has seven days to collect the animal or arrange delivery (unless paying a deposit to secure foal until weaning). Payment must be made in full in cash or cleared funds before the horse is taken away. If we are aware that a horse has a problem, vice or fault, we are careful to point it out at the outset. To avoid doubt or possible misunderstandings, we summarise what we have said about our foals/ horses in writing on the bill of sale and ask buyers to sign to confirm this.
