Larkshill Stud breeding world Class dressage horses. At Larkhsill Stud our broodmares carry the bloodlines of the some of the world's leading dressage stallions. Using only the best stallions from across Europe to compliment our mares' qualities is paramount in our breeding programme and we are delighted to say the results speak for themselves. Larkshill Stud's mares have won several Championships eg 2008 BEF Champion Dressage Broodmare and Reserve Champion as choosen by Carl Hester. Our foals are champions, premium graded and of course very friendly and well handled.Core to Larkshill Stud's ethos is that horses should be allowed to be horses and do what nature intended: grazing 24 hours a day if they choose and galloping and playing in the fields. Studies have shown that this "natural" exercise is essential to strengthen the young horses' tendons and young muscles. For this reason, our horses live as a herd as naturally as possible. They live out all year round, with free access to big barns in the winter - coming and going as they please and of course growing their own big wooly coats to keep them warm! The foals benefit from being brought up in a herd as they learn all the necessary social skills from the older horses. We nurture our little stars ensuring they have the very best start in life. They receive the best veterinary attention, feed, are vaccinated, wormed and have their hooves trimmed regularly. They are handled everyday and we keep numbers low so each horse can have the attention they deserve. We make all new experiences fun for them - the end result is well behaved loveable young horses that are eager to work.
