Fawley, Wantage, Oxfordshire, OX12

Fawley House Stud has been a stud farm for many years. It has been in the hands of the current owners since 2003 and has been run as a breaking and rehabilitation stud for the owners' own horses and some private clients. Before then, it was set up by the Muir family in the 1950s, and then owned by John Deer, who stood Averti, and other stallions at the farm. The current owners converted the barn to the house, built the indoor school and installed the gallop – this is a truly versatile operation
