Sales Prep
Highclere Stud has regularly been amongst the top vendors and consignors at all the major sales. It was the leading vendor again at the 2008 Tattersalls October Sale Book 1, having last year been top at the Tattersalls October Sale Books 1 and 2 by aggregate, and top vendor at the Doncaster Yearling Sales by average purchase price.
The stud offers sales preparation for foals, yearlings and
broodmares.
Under the guidance of Carolyn Warren, our experienced team, including the vet and farrier, will ensure the horses are prepared to the highest standard. Each horse has its own individual preparation tailor-made to its own specific needs.
Our state of the art facilities and surrounding natural countryside helps each horse reach their peak at the optimum time for their relevant sale.
At the sales the promotion of bloodstock is aided by Sue Huntingdon and Kirsten Lloyd who are an excellent addition to the permanent staff.
Highclere Stud has been one of the top two British-based stud farms over the last six years at the Tattersalls October Yearling Sales. Recent notable sales include the Montjeu filly out of Blue Symphony purchased by Paul Cole for 400,000gns in 2008. The 2007 consignment highlight was the 1,000,000gns Gone West colt out of the Sadler's Wells mare Myth To Reality, sold to John Ferguson.
