MANAGEMENT

Millfield Stud is now a private stud run by Sue Jaggar and Brian Thompson who have between them many years experience in showjumping and eventing, along with breeding and producing horses, with the emphasis on quality not quantity.  They are also highly experienced in producing foals and young stock for gradings and sale. 

 

GRAZING 

Millfield Stud stands in 120 acres of well-fenced grassland amidst stunning scenery. The paddocks are maintained to the highest level with weeds controlled and droppings removed.  Fields are rotated annually and are also grazed by sheep throughout the year to keep them in prime condition.

 Millfield Stud is also a working farm with its own herd of pedigree Aberdeen Angus cattle and Sheep.

               

FOALING BOXES & STABLES

All the studs stables and foaling boxes are purpose built units fitted with automatic water drinkers.  In addition the large  foaling boxes are fitted with cameras which are monitored 24 hours a day on site during the foaling season.  

 

With ideas copied from the  Continental studs, the youngstock are kept in age groups in big crew yards with daily exercise throughout the winter, and turned out during the summer.  

SECURITY & CARE

Millfield Stud is also our home, meaning  24 hours a day 365 days a year on site supervision with the addition of 24 hour CCTV security.
