No choice really especially with the credit crunch, sticking with my own boy Mill Law. Have used other stallions in the past, got a lovely Fleetwater Opposition yearling filly, but tend to stick to proven stallions which have produced proven offspring, boring i know but i personally think it...

would vote for Hannah any day, she is an excellent trainer, have been going for years and she has never failed to impress with every horse i take, she is very open in her ideas and appreciates the ways different horses need to be trained to get the best out of them. She is also not afraid to...

Best Event Stallion - Mill Law, he sired the highest placed British Bred horse in two out of the three sections at the British Eventing Young Horse Championships '08, to name just one of his many achievements.

Our three year old stallion is now broken and in work and I have to say I do nothing differently. He has learnt from day one that he has to behave himself, lungeing before getting on etc is fine but if they get into the routine then when you go to a competition you will hit problems as...

I will vote for Julian Rishworth from the Minster Vet Practice in York, he is the most efficient vet we have ever had at jabbing all the young horses, does them in the field and it is over and done with before they even know what is happening. He is also extremely clever at sexing foals in the...

Yes, I would agree with MFH that we have been lucky that people have sent some excellent mares to Mill Law, however, the majority of youngsters out competing at the moment are out of mainly unproven mares, as they are from his early days at stud before he had made a name for himself. The likes...

Congratulations to SW I see her homebred 4yo Coopers Law, by Mill Law, won the BE 4yo Qualifier at Stafford Horse Trials today, she must be delighted, roll on the final in October

Managed to cut back on the number of mares putting back in foal to three, two in foal already to Mill Law, the third mare has only just had her foal by Fleetwater Opposition so will wait for 21 days to cover her again, getting late so will have to hope she holds first time

Homebred 4 yo Tikkabilla Mill by Mill Law won her first Burghley Young Event Horse Qualifier so now looking forward to the final Homebred 4 yo Sugar Shack Mill by Mill Law finished 3rd in her first BE Young Horse Qualifier, qualifying for that final at Tweseldown in October, not managed to get...

they are definitely not closing down, they have just moved premises to Northern Racing College just outside Doncaster. Excellent group of vets working there at the moment so dont look elsewhere, had all of them out for different problems over the past few months and cannot rate them highly enough

Mill Law and possibly Devils Jump for us as both are producing really good stock which, not only seem to be doing great in the eventing world but also seem to do very well in the show ring in-hand as youngsters which is an added bonus, so should be able to get the offspring out at a younger age...

one of our foals this year needed a transfusion, have to say i would never go down that route again as it was extremely stressful for the foal and we nearly ended up loosing it during the process, stopped breathing the works, luckily pulled round and no ill effects, but definitely going to work...

we have got an advanced mare on loan at the moment as a broodmare who is by Jumbo, she was ridden by an amateur and had a fantastic record. She is throwning excellent offspring, got a lovely four year old out of her by Mill Law which so far seems as brave as brass and very scopey, plus a three...

Five due this year had the first two born on the same day three days ago, both out of lovely Jumbo mares, one who is an advanced event mare, one filly and one stunning colt so far, both by Mill Law. Next one due in May out of dun mare who bred us a lovely dun foal last year so hoping for the...

We've had one youngster that has been evaluated three years on the trot and hopefully will be presented again this year, i may be wrong but i think the rules have changed and they are no longer having a cumulative prize at the end which i think is a shame as it was def an incentive to keep...
