A boutique stud farm in the heart of rural Sussex

Breeding premier bloodstock from a select group of elite mares and leading flat stallions.

'Reared to be feared'

Apedroc Stud is a boutique thoroughbred stud farm in the heart of rural Sussex.

The property is set in over 100 acres of paddocks and ancient woodland, complemented by a full suite of modern equestrian facilities. Our approach is to focus on a small number of elite mares and premier flat stallions.

The stud benefits from carefully maintained, high quality, pasture. We conduct rotational grazing and cross-grazing with our flock of Hebridean sheep to  maximise parasite control. The undulating terrain provides excellent strengthening and conditioning for young race horses.

We work with high quality veterinary, nutritional, farriery and Bloodstock professionals, with expertise specific to the racing industry.
