Website: www.hedgeholmestud.co.uk
Notes: Although having a postal address of Co.Durham, it could be argued that Hedgeholme Stud is in Yorkshire, it certainly used to be standing, as it does, on the south side of the River Tees. The stud has been standing stallions for a number of years, having been founded in 1984, and was previously known as Cliffords Farm, after the property at Ovington, which is still retained as an annexe, bringing the total stud acreage to 200. The aim of the stud is to stand commercial stallions at realistic fees, with the policy being to try and introduce a new stallion each season, to give northern breeders as wide a choice as possible. The recruits for 2008 were leading juvenille Distant Music (already the sire of Dream Theme and Sol Mi Fa), precocious two-year-old Blue Dakota (sadly put down following a paddock accident in July 2007 after his first stud season) and Garrison Savannah, a son of Danehill, who joined the relatively well-settled Rambling Bear, a group winning sprinter by Sharood. For 2008 only Distant Music remains whilst the others are replaced by proven sire Josr Algarhoud, former Bryan Smart horse Misu Bond, and multiple group winning miler Tillerman.
The stud is also a major boarding establishment for the likes of the Leggott family (who bred and owned Boldly Goes who was by then resident stallion Bold Arrangement and who won the Ripon Champion Stakes L, when trained by Chris Fairhurst) and North Cheshire Trading & Storage (also Chris Fairhurst owners, they have bred the likes of Peyto Princess and Abbajabba, also by resident stallions as well as Redcar Trophy & Weatherbys Super Sprint winner Blue Iris). Mr.Spalding was in the market for mares at the 2001 December Sales buying a seven times winning Nordico mare (Lot 1470) who's first 2 foals are both winners for 5,000gns, a twice winning Unfuwain mare (Lot 2028) for 1,400gns and an unraced 1/2 sister to Repertory (Lot 2033) for 1,600gns. The in utero progeny of these three mares were all sold as foals at Tattersalls the following year and fetched a total of 27,400gns between them! Amongst the recent horses bred by Mr.Spalding is Melalchrist (2002 g by Almaty - Lawless Bridget) who has won three times including the £12,402 Betbluesq.com Handicap at Chester in August 2005 and his half brother Fred's Lad (2005 c by Warningford - Lawless Bridgit) who, trained by Mick Easterby, won the Brian Yeardley Two Year Old Trophy at Beverley in 2007 and was third in the Roses Stakes L at York in the same year.

Hellwood Stud Farm
Hellwood Lane, Scarcroft, Leeds
Owner: Richard Whitaker
Acreage: 100 acres plus 60 rented
Type: Private
Notes: During 1998 Hellwood was responsible for 7 individual winners of 12 races. The stud, founded in 1989, is owned by trainer Richard Whitaker and run by his son Timothy. In it's first 10 years it bred 31 winners of 87 races, and yearlings sold have fetched over £500,000 upto that time. One of the stud's foundation mares is Spinner (Blue Cashmere - Penny Pincher), a half sister to a former Whitaker trained star in Clantime, who stood at Melbourne Hall Stud. To date Spinner is responsible for 8 winners from 10 racing age offspring including the listed placed Seigneurial, also trained by Whitaker, who went on to win nearly £100,000, mainly due to his exploits in the USA. The best winners from Hellwood to date are Vicious Dancer (Timeless Times - Yankeedoodledancer) who won the Harry Rosebery Trophy Stakes L in September 2000 and the Tote Scoop6 Handicap in May 2001, again trained by Whitaker and Saint Express who had numerous handicap successes and was stakes placed many times, including second in the 1992 Flying Childers S G2 when trained by Whitaker. Bred from a boarder is the Richard Whitaker trained Taberet who is winner of the Roses Stakes L and third in the Windsor Castle Stakes L in 2005. The stud currently has around 12 mares.

High Bramley Grange Stud
Bramley Grange, Grewelthorpe, Ripon, HG4 3DN
Owner; Mr.Roy Bracher
Type; Private
Notes; High Bramley Grange is a relatively new 'stud' close to Ripon. Previously an owner with Mark Johnston, Mr.Bracher, who is also active in the showing world, only owned two mares, both of which were boarded in Ireland (John Osborne's Tipper House Stud), so it remains to be seen how much of a 'Yorkshire' stud it is! So far the most successful mare is Miss Queen (1984 Miswaki - Empress Jackie) who was herself sold for 120,000 Euro's at Goffs in Feb 2004, the day after her yearling colt by Fantastic Light had sold for 130,000 Euro's. Subsequent events would indicate that they should have held onto Miss Ocean for a while longer, although that is being extremely picky! The previous year Miss Queen's (who is a winning half sister to Tajannub out of a US stakes winner) yearling colt by Grand Lodge had sold for 85,000 Euro's. To date Miss Queen's most significant progeny (all bred in Ireland by High Bramley Grange Stud Ltd) are Chateau Istana, Mandobi and the aforementioned Fantastic Light colt, now named Prince of Light. Chateau Istana (2002 colt by Grand Lodge) won the Windsor Castle Stakes L at Royal Ascot 2004, following on from his Leicester maiden win, and Mandobi (2001 colt by Mark Of Esteem) won two races including, two days after Chateau Istana's victory, the 2004 Brittania Handicap at Royal Ascot, thus giving Bracher a truly memorable 2004 Royal Ascot. Chateau Istana followed up later in 2004 with a win in the Flying Childers Stakes G3, whilst Mandobi was a good second in the Vodafone Thoroughbred Stakes L before being transferred to Dubai. Prince Of Light has finished up at Kingsley House with Mark Johnston and was an impressive winner of the Sirenia Stakes G3 in September 2005, his third win in a row. For such a small operation to win two races at Royal Ascot in the same year is truly the stuff of dreams, and the sort of inspiration that drawns people into the bloodstock world in the first place! Bracher's other mare is Lamzena (1996 Fairy King - Ezana) who was a winner in the USA and who's first foal by Rahy sold for 55,000 Euro's in 2003. Lamzena is a half sister to five winners including Ebaziya (dam of Ascot Gold Cup G1 winner Enzeli and Irish Oaks G1 winner Ebadiyla) from a good family of the Aga Khan's.

Highwood Stud
Shay Lane, Walton, Wakefield, West Yorkshire
Owner:Caroline Saynor
Type: Public
Current Stallions: Merit (2000: £400)
Notes: Merit is a 1992 son of Rainbow Quest out of Fur Hat (from the famous Moller Horama family) he won £52,399 including the Chester Cup. However the web site at www.irishdraughthorseuk.com shows that Merit probably isn't going to be producing many Royal Ascot Two-Year-Olds, but he is a thoroughbred stallion standing in Yorkshire.

Hunsley House Stud
High Hunsley, Cottingham, East Yorkshire
Owner: Bob Urquhart
Acreage: 80
Type: Public
Current Stallions: Aragon (since 1997, 2001 fee:£600, 2002 fee: On application)
Previous Stallions: Nicholas Bill, Highland Melody, Rambo Dancer, Import, Class Distinction
Notes: Now back in it's rightful 'Yorkshire' fold, having been exiled into the Humberside wilderness, this stud was founded in 1930 by E.V.'Vernon' Stephenson (father in law to trainer Joe Hartigan), and has been expanded by his grandson Bob Urquhart (who's father was the local rector), since he took it over in 1974. The stud historically concentrates on solid, reliable, mid-range sires and on boarding mares for clients, typically only keeping a couple of mares of it's own. Nicholas Bill sired Double Dutch (Tote Cesarewitch H, 3rd.Sagaro S G3), Billet (Northern Dancer H) and Ghofar (Hennessy Gold Cup) amongst others before leaving in 1991 (to become a NH sires at Conkwell Grange). He was replaced by the Maktoum owned Rambo Dancer , a half brother to Epsom, Irish and Yorkshire Oaks winner Fair Salinia. He stood at Hunsley House until 1996 siring Ramooz (Criterion S G3), Rambo Flyer (Pilot Fineliner Cup L), Bollin Frank (£40,000), David Nicholl's tough campaigner Rambo Waltzer and numerous others, before being replaced by proven sire Aragon for the 1997 season. This tough sprinter/miler by Mummy's Pet was already 17 at this point, but he was always going to be popular with northern breeders, having already got Cloud of Dust (G3), Argentum (G3), Midnight Escape, Point of Light (G3), Only Yours (G2), River Falls (G2), Dana Springs (L) and numerous other stakes winners as well as solid handicappers like Knight of Mercy and Aradanza. He is currently the sire of winner's of nearly 500 races and over £3.5m. Bob Urquhart is the breeder of Sumoquinn (1992 c by Then Again - Fancy Flight) who won 6 races at two including the Rockingham Stakes L.

Huttons Ambo Stud
Low Farm, Huttons Ambo, York
Owner: Edward Hide
Acreage: 45
Type: Private
Notes: Only three miles from Malton, Low Farm was bought by sixteen times 'Cock o' the North' jockey and former champion apprentice Edward Hide (possibly the best jockey of the post-war era not to win the championship - he was second once and third three times) in 1965. Having converted the property into something suitable for the keeping of thoroughbred's Eddie set off to Newmarket's December sales to buy a mare, and came back with four!. Of these Susiana (Darius - Lorelei) and Sing High (a winning filly by Sound Track and placed in the Northern Free Handicap) stayed with the stud till death or retirement, a third Rosecroft Honey bred two foals, both winners before dying young and the other foundation mare was sold on. Susiana bred six winners and Sing High seven, a good start for the stud.
