WEST BERKSHIRE RACING CLUB VISIT BRIGHTWALTON STUD WERE IT ALL BEGINS 23-6-15


This beautiful part of the West Berkshire countryside, just off the hustle and Bustle of the A34, nestles Brightwalton Stud.
This stud who houses no big named stallions yet is still so important to the induction and rehabilitation of horses whose destination is the racing industry.
Yearlings, two year olds, broodmares and mares with foals at foot,grow in this delightful and relaxed atmosphere.

Yearlings such as this Rock of Gibralter filly out of Vizinga who is being prepared for the Deauville sales In August. Her first time with a public crowd, could she be the next big thing in racing? who knows. It is only fair to say she will get the best introduction possible by Stud Groom Matt Jones and his team.
Also horses are prepared for the trainer, like 2 year old Filly called Flirty Thirty by Big Bad Bob out of Three Decades. she is not far off going into her new venture with Clive Cox.

In the beautiful prepared paddocks of the stud the mares foals and yealings. Relax and are given time to develop before heading out into the stress and strains of competition.
