We are a sports horse stud in Nottinghamshire
with a herd of quality Trakehner and warmblood
mares.
We use the very best Trakehner/warmblood
competition stallions for our mares, selected
from studs and competition yards all over
the UK.
Our aim is to make a small but significant
contribution to British breeding, by using proven competition bloodlines
from a selection of the best warmblood breeds.

TEAM SAXELBY!
Our 5 children have been introduced to a
life with horses from a young age. We let
the children help with the horses, whenever
it is safe and appropriate to do so. All
the children adore the mares and foals, although
many hours are spent arguing about whose
"very own mare" is the best!

   Besides equine activities, we both enjoy
other sports. We (and the children) are equally
obsessed with skiing (although we are not
necessarily any good at it!). Jon enjoys
competitive tennis and the occasional rugby
match.
Lucy previously competed in sprint
and olympic distance triathlons for Nottingham
based Triathlon club TFN and has ran 10k's,
half and full marathons.
In 2009 Lucy had to have an operation
to remove a slipped disc, which was compressing
her spinal nerves - her back is improving
with time but can still sometimes get sore
after excessive concussion, so out of choice
Lucy has stopped running and tries not to
do too much sitting trot!
