About us.
Wendy Middleton, prior to setting up Middleton Stud with her family, has had 35 years experience with horses, 20 of which have been spent in the stud industry, the remaining years within the racing industry. Over the years Wendy has assisted with hundreds of foalings, most of which go very smoothly, resulting in a healthy mare and foal. When things have gone wrong, e.g. When the mare rejects her foal, Wendy has developed the skill of caring for the mare/foal and is now renowned all over the UK for fostering and hand-rearing orphan foals.
