Starting Stalls at Westcourt Stables

We offer a very popular 'walk-through' service by appointment. Horses are assessed and worked through our nursery stalls and on our gallops. This is ideal as an introduction to the stalls for young horses or for horses who have known issues with the stalls.

Our residential service is another option for horses requiring intensive stalls training with long term issues or following a mishap at the races or those with long term stalls issues.

Yearlings

Each season we travel all over the UK to start yearlings at Trainers' yards where there are 5 or more yearlings. Please get in touch if you would like more details on how to book.
