History
Fawley House Stud carries a distinguished history in the equine world, having operated as a stud farm for many decades. Under the ownership of the current custodians since 2003, it has been expertly managed as a dedicated breaking and rehabilitation facility, supporting both the owners' own horses and a select number of private clients.
Its heritage runs deep. Originally established by the Muir family in the 1950s, the stud later came under the ownership of John Deer, during which time the renowned stallion Averti-along with several others-stood at the farm, further cementing its reputation within the industry.
Since 2003, the present owners have invested significantly in the property, transforming the traditional period timber frame barn into an impressive residence, constructing a high quality indoor school and installing a professional grade gallop. These major enhancements have created a truly versatile, fully equipped equestrian operation with exceptional potential.
