No monthly gallop fees and ultra competitive training rates, we offer fantastic value for money.
Unquestionable reputation for honesty, integrity and transparency.
Consistent form through years of experience and steady progress
We have had horses with Seamus since 2003, and have had the usual good and bad luck, that goes with owning and breeding racehorses. In all that time we have enjoyed excellent relationships with the staff at Wilsford, and have particularly appreciated Seamus's willingness to adjust our horses racing program to fit in with our professional and business commitments. Seamus has been most helpful, having our youngsters from an early age, for short periods to educate them before breaking them in and training them for us. There is a warm welcome at the stables at any time, and we have really enjoyed our long period of ownership with Seamus.
Long may it continue!!
Seamus and my paths first crossed back in the late 1980’s at the happy Fyfield yard of Toby Balding – he was an able bright ginger headed amateur jockey and I was a stick thin rookie syndicate manager so it wasn’t yesterday! He managed to win at Wincanton on a little mare we had, Reach me Down, for our first syndicate, The Rumble Racing Club, and we have been friends since. In many ways life at Wilsford reminds me of those days – a homely feel, individual attention to the horses, loyal staff and the chance to get involved with the horses as much off the track as on it. We’ve been lucky enough to have some success on the track too with Glenarm and Glenariff doing well for us before Chesterfield gave us all our biggest racing day when winning the 2017 Scottish Champion Hurdle on a memorable sunny spring afternoon.
It's been great to watch the yard grow, invest in it’s success and move up the ladder in recent times. If Seamus gets the horses he deserves to train I’m sure that will continue into the future.
