On The Stud
|
Charlock Stud is an exclusive boarding facility for top class mares (broodmare boarding) and their offspring
We offer the very best of everything to aid you in the quest for winners, and indeed on the path to success at the sales in keeping thoroughbred mares.
The following factors make Charlock the natural choice for selective breeders: |
 |
Environment
Charlock Stud occupies 230 acres of prime, well-drained and gently sloping pastureland which is grazed by cattle and sheep in rotation with the horses, keeping the grass in optimum condition and negating any risk of parasite infestation.
The secure and tranquil surroundings ensure a stress free environment for horses of all ages, either in the large, rolling meadows or the nursery paddocks used for new foals and their dams.
The convenient location of Charlock Stud, within easy walk-in reach of most of the major stallion studs, allows breeders to keep their mares away from highly concentrated and over-horsed boarding studs in other areas.
