Due to a riding accident at Newton Abbot I had to give up my professional jockeys licence. I then started training in 1996 on a small scale from my family farm in Cornwall.  

Subsequently I moved to Somerset and am now established in my wife’s family farm near Crewkerne. During the last four years we have built a New Stable block incorporating feed rooms, tack rooms, New wood chip all weather gallop, installed a walker and built a sand school.

Because of the location of the yard within 250 acres of farmland with it’s extensive grass gallops and 5 furlong demanding all weather gallop acknowledged by many as ideal we have the ability to renew horses which have gone stale in larger training establishments or lost their enthusiasm.  

Unlike at major training centres these gallops are firstly for our own use and also the location of our barn provides for the good protection against virus and other problems.

The setting of the yard allows an environment set around my ethos on training that of feeding, fresh air, cantering, schooling, resting horses and the opportunity to relax horses when being turned out on a regular basis.
