Welcome To Catherston Stud

Catherston Stud is extremely proud of their excellent facilities at Croft Farm, Over Wallop. The main house is positioned centrally within 100 acres of rolling chalk grassland which allows easy supervision of all the grounds. Post and rail paddocks house the visiting mares and foals whilst the remainder of the grazing is surrounded by Tornado fencing which allows maximum visibility of the grazing stock. There is a small, well sheltered paddock, immediately in front of the house for turning out the newly born foals and larger paddocks for our other herd residents. The American barn type stable block can accommodate twenty horses with an adjacent traditional stable yard housing the foaling boxes and accommodation for visiting horses. The stables are large, light and airy with rubber floors and walkways.  There are 14 individual turnout paddocks for livery horses.

Catherston Stud has a large naturally lit indoor school with small viewing area, covered horse-walker and lunge ring, an all weather outdoor arena, indoor covering yard and adjacent laboratory and veterinary room. Croft Farm also boasts excellent off road hacking, wash boxes, laundry facilities, heated tack rooms and visitors rest room to ensure comfort of not only our equine guests but our clients and staff.

The stud’s foundation stallion Dutch Courage has been the most influential warmblood sire of competition horses in Great Britain. His stock have excelled in every sphere, both here and abroad, and his breeding lines are keenly sought after as his stock have proved to be forward.
