Dual purpose trainer at Castle Hill stables in Middleham, North Yorkshire. Ben has been training at the stables since 2010, when he took over the reins from his father Patrick. The yard has capacity for 50 horses, with each horse guaranteed individual care and attention.
New owners are welcome at the stable, whether it be the full ownership of a horse, or a small share (available from 5% upwards). Alternatively, prospective owners may wish to join one of their 4 syndicates; Ontoawinner, Blue Lion Racing, Middleham Park Racing or Go Alfresco. Information on each is available via individual websites, linked to from their ownership page.
The website includes details of the horses they have in training and yearlings available to purchase.
Castle Hill Stables are situated alongside the castle in the racing town of Middleham. The yard was renovated in 2009, and now consists of 35 boxes, 2 large loose barns and a horse walker. There is also plenty of paddock space for the horses, allowing many of them to be turned out in the summer during the day. The stables are close to Middleham's gallop facilities, which has a multitude of all-weather and grass canters to choose from, as well as schooling fences and starting stalls which are available for use throughout the year.
