The location was chosen to be quiet and sheltered by extensive woodland from the worst of the weather.

The main yard at Freedom Farm was built new in 1992 and comprises thirty-two boxes in a square, with two towers at opposite corners. The square one contains the offices and the foaling boxes, whilst the round one is a store.

Three double foaling boxes, with complete video surveillance, provide every facility for the safe foaling of mares.

We pride ourselves in giving the best care to all horses in our charge. For this reason, in conjunction with our vets, we have created a state-of-the-art veterinary unit, for the safe handling of horses under all circumstances.

The main yard is surrounded by nearly 200 acres of paddocks. These are laid out for maximum security and to minimise the time taken to transfer horses.

Four small paddocks and an indoor yard are provided for mares and foals, colts and other horses, that need special care and observation.

Well-separated from the main yard is the second yard with 36 boxes and a special box for Vague Shot.

This yard is normally used as a barren mare unit and outside of the breeding season for horses out of training and those in quarantine.

We have a large all-weather outdoor school, that can be used to exercise horses in the worst of conditions.

New in 1999 was a horsewalker.

We have laid out the stud, so that there are extensive rides and gallops, where horses can be properly exercised.

This enabled us, to keep a mare fit, whilst she was being covered by a Newmarket stallion. Five weeks later, she was placed in a Group race.
