Here in Ashton we pride ourselves in breeding for quality and then colour. Warlord was a present for my 40th birthday and i intend to keep him entire for stud work as well as competing him in the spring /summer so watch this space.
We have a 5 star set up here for the horses as i have looked at many yards and wanted to have something different. The stables are built of stone so in the winter they are warm and in the summer they stay cool. Outside we have post and rail paddocks and a barn we house my broodmares during the winter this way they still socialise with each other also they are gated off so they have their own space. We have 24hour supervision dusk till dawn lighting on the stables and security cameras and lighting around the whole of the stud.
During the foaling season we are linked from the house to the stables with a foal alarm to indicate when the mares will be foaling so we can quietly watch in case of difficulties.
