Breeding winners is at the heart of everything we do.

Yorton Farm Stud are producers of the finest racehorses and bloodstock, including broodmares, foals and stores sourced from top British, Irish and French National Hunt families.

Over the past 11 years, we have developed a leading stallion roster and celebrated many winning connections from their progeny. The stallions currently standing at Yorton include Pether’s Moon, Norse Dancer and Gentle Wave.

Located near Welshpool, Yorton is widely recognised as one of Britain’s fastest growing studs. We are nestled amongst 300 acres of beautiful Powys countryside at Leighton Farm, where the Grade 1 Listed buildings have been tastefully restored and converted with the highest possible standards of equine care in mind. With well-lit, spacious and ventilated stables, specialist CCTV monitored foaling units and a range of paddocks suited to mares and young stock of different ages, Yorton Farm is a fully equipped modern stud. Our continued commitment to the future of National Hunt breeding and racing also led us to develop the inaugural 2019 Goffs UK Yorton Sale, where 29 lots of the finest National Hunt yearlings and two year-olds were sold to buyers who’d travelled from across France, Ireland and the UK. This exciting new concept has now become an annual fixture in the NH Calendar.

We’re passionate about making horse ownership accessible to everyone and we warmly encourage people, whether they’re novices or familiar with the industry, to get involved and enjoy the thrill of owning a potential winner. Visitors are always welcome at Yorton – if you would like further information, please do get in touch or visit our website at www.yortonfarm.co.uk

We are proud to be official partners with the Bangor-on-Dee Owners and Trainers Facility.

The Very Best Surface for Your Horses

The Very Best Surface for Your Horses Canter Carpet is a high-performance equestrian surface which uses superior quality recycled carpet fibres to provide a perfectly cushioned ride, whether on an arena, lunging pen, turnout or gallop.

Offering exceptional benefits to both the horse and rider, Canter Carpet is quickly gaining popularity as an affordable, low-maintenance, weather-resistant and sustainable alternative to sand, rubber and other ‘all weather’ surfaces.

Canter Carpet is made from superior quality synthetic carpet fibres to create a better experience for both horse and rider. It provides a cushioned surface for softer landings and reduces fatigue by allowing your horse to ride on top of the surface, rather than sinking into it as they do with sand.

Canter Carpet works perfectly on any porous surface, in many cases without requiring a membrane, and can be used either as a standalone surface on hardstanding, or to top up an existing surface such as sand.

Because our carpet fibres are entirely weather-resistant, you can say goodbye to water logged and frozen surfaces, wet, muddy fields and icy concrete – Canter Carpet gives your arena, turnout or gallop a hard-wearing and maintenance-free surface that can be enjoyed all year round.

We also take great pride in our transparent pricing and will always endeavour to find the most cost-effective solution for your specific requirements. Every shipment prepared at our depot in Newtown, Powys, includes a weight ticket, so you know exactly how much you’re paying for. All our deliveries are charged at cost, and if you have a pick-up or lorry, you can even collect the shipment yourself.

“With such a hard winter last season the outdoor school was a huge positive and really boosted our facilities. There was not a single day that we couldn’t exercise the horses, even if we did have to dig our way to there through the snow. That is one of the main reasons we chose the Canter Carpet Surface for our six furlong gallop, that it actually is all-weather. The frost resistance makes a huge difference to us. The reports from my jockeys are that it rides very smoothly and from my point of view it seems very horse friendly in that it provides maximum cushioning for the delicate thoroughbred limbs.” KERRY LEE Welsh Grand National & Grade 1 winning racehorse trainer
