Orphan Foals - we can help you in tragic times
We are one of the only studs in the UK who can provide specialist hand rearing of orphan foals, protecting your investments in breeding programmes. If the unthinkable happens we are here to help you through.
Wendy, who has presented at Rossdale's Veterinary Hospital on this topic is currently working on her first book demonstrating how the hand rearing of foals can be truly successful both physically and psychologically. Middleton Stud has close links with and can provide experienced foster mares from 'Newmarket foster mare company'.
Mares and foals
We take walk-in mares and permanent boarders. We offer the full range of stud facilities, right from foaling down, to getting your mare back in foal. We foal down difficult mares.
All our foals are handled from the day they are born making life a lot easier for everyone when they are older!
We also offer weaning and the boarding of weanlings and yearlings.
We cater for A.I. Mares and have the facilities to deal with fresh, frozen and or chilled semen.
Sick and injured
We offer box rest and re-introduction to turn out and or gentle exercise, if this is required. If your horse is on box rest, they get buckets of grass daily, toys and plenty of t.l.c.
We take in convalescing horses from the equine hospitals and can provide excercise in a turn out pen, horse walker or lunge ring.
Racing Services
We take in resting racehorses, Colts and Fillies for happy holidays and rest. One of our regular customers calls us the chill-out farm.
We have an all weather lunge ring and use of a covered horse walker if needed. If you have a horse, colt or filly, that needs company, we have plenty of choice with our own horses, as they are very good as companions.
Breaking in
We break in all youngsters. We work at the horse's pace, ie, if they need time they get it. At the end of the day, how you break them in influences the horse for the rest of its life so we take our time to ensure this is undretaken correctly.
Sales preparation
We have sold horses at Tattersalls and Doncaster. Our aim is to bring out the best in your horse and to achieve the best possible price for you. We will prepare all horses from foals to mares to horses out of training for the sales and orgaise transportation.
