Mare and foal agistment

Full level of care given to broodmares and foals, from foaling down to weaning and raising foals up to breaking in (3 years).

The Chapplehurst herd

Broodmares have been chosen very carefully to produce top quality dressage horses, and in addition to Graham's stallion Matisse, their bloodlines include Donnerhall, Brentano II, Samarant, Rotspon and Longchamp. Youngstock have been bred from frozen semen of Lord Sinclair, Furst Romancier, Espri, San Amour, Decamerone, Wynton and Charmeur.

Stallions at stud

Whilst training and competing stallions, we also have facilities to stand them at stud.

Matisse (imp) is Graham's own stallion, with whom he competed to FEI Inter I level, before retiring to stud duties and schoolmaster. Read Matisse's profile...

Graham also successfully produced the Rubinstein stallion Rubin James, on behalf of a client, as a competitive dressage horse and breeding stallion, before selling him on to up-and-coming dressage/show horse stud, EB Lodge.
