Home to some of the greatest racehorses in history, the historic Park House Stables in Kingsclere (UK) is undoubtedly one of the best equipped private thoroughbred training establishments in the world.
Based away from Newmarket - the traditional home of British horse racing, the yard comprises over 200 stables, two lunge pits, three covered horse walkers and a two furlong circular indoor ride, ensuring that horses can be exercised whatever the weather.
There is also a digital weighbridge for the monitoring of horses’ weight, and the yard was one of the first in the country to be equipped with its own equine swimming pool.
The main gallops are situated less than half a mile from the yard itself with further extensive downland on nearby Watership Down.

The Balding family are the current custodians of the famous estate.
A wealth of experience combined with the energy of youth provides a team for all seasons. Working closely together trainer Andrew, Anna Lisa, Ian, Emma, broadcaster Clare Balding and their first class support team create a formidable force at Kingsclere.

Blue Gown, Ormonde, Geheimniss, Mrs Penny, Mill Reef, Lochsong, Lochsong, Selkirk, Casual Look, Kameko and Donjuan Triumphant are among the big race winners on the Kingsclere honour roll boasting Classic victories in the Derby, the Oaks, the 2000 Guineas, Royal Ascot and British Champions Day and many more. Her Majesty The Queen and King Power Racing are among the powerful owners who stable their horses with Andrew.
