I have been training racehorses since 1983 and I am now based in Rowdown Stables, Upper Lambourn, a modern, purpose built, Yard with 30 Boxes with easy access to the superb Lambourn Gallops. We moved into Rowdown on the 1st January 2016 and you can see something of the excellent facilites we have here. My team and I work hard to do the best for our horses and to achieve success and enjoyment for our owners; I pride myself on high standards and attention to detail.
Visitors to the yard are always welcome! You can keep uptodate with the latest news from Rowdown by clicking this link and you can see our immediately upcoming Entries and running plans by clicking here and then selecting 'Entries'.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Have a look at how to be involved at Rowdown here; a variety of options for affordable racehorse ownership are available from as little as £50 per month. Mark and Mike are always happy to talk about individual horses and ownership & partnership opportunities.
2022 Grey Gelding
by Kodiac (GB) ex Shareefa (GB) ( Shamardal (USA) )
Out of an unraced half sister to a twelve furlong Group Three winner in France (whose Grandam was an eleven furlong French Listed winner) this nice Kodiac gelding came to us from Ireland last Winter; after three runs in Maiden company over six furlongs she made her first start in a Nursery over seven furlongs at Kempton in the middle of September; and we were delighted with the improvement he showed to win really decisively, on the pace the whole way and quickening clear in the last furlong.
He should make up into a real good quality Handicap horse and, over further than seven, there is more improvement to come.
