TESTIMONIALS
David Myerscough has boarded our mares from Highclere for several years now during the breeding season. David has given us a great service and shows plenty of attention to detail to both the mares and foals and keeps me really well informed at all times.
Newsells Park has boarded mares with David for the past two years and always found his standards, his attention to detail and the health of the mares and foals to have been of the highest order.
We have been sending our mares to Colbinstown Stud for a few years now. The mares return looking great and in foal. They are a very professional set up whom we are delighted to support.
