Elite Equine Management =
Thoroughbreds are temperamental creatures, and they know how to find trouble. Most injuries happen in the 18 months following purchase as a yearling. This time is crucial and our attention to horse welfare is on full alert and focus. We have the best horses breakers on board and the most hands on spelling farm in Cambridge.
Kingmaker thoroughbreds are treated as pure individuals. They all change significantly, at different speeds, as they grow from a yearling to a spring 3 year old. To have them perfect for the trainer, they need 12 months of quality handling, pre-training, rider education, and the best feed and nutrition programs to set them up for success.
As an owner you want the reassurance that the best people in the industry are handling your thoroughbred 24/7 - always with your equine interests at heart. Our active management by our elite suppliers, at every stage keeps standards consistently high, respecting the commitment clients make in funding a horse’s potential.
