THE STABLE
All of our horses are currently in the charge of
Renee Robeson at Tyringham near Milton Keynes. Our horses
have been with Mrs Robeson since 2000 and we have enjoyed
considerable success.
Fences Farm is set in the quiet and idyllic countryside
of North Buckinghamshire and there is no better feeling than
standing in the warm sunshine of an Autumn or Spring morning
and seeing the string going through it paces.
You may have noticed that I didn't mention mid Winter
mornings as these can be a real test of your dedication but
in a strange way, sometimes more rewarding. Trust me, the
views from the top of the gallops are worth joining for alone!
The name Robeson may be familiar to some. Mrs Robeson's
husband, Peter, was an Olympic showjumper and has been referred
to as the Godfather of British Showjumping.
With all his jumping experience it is easy to see
why he oversees all the schooling and can be credited with
the incredibly low number of fallers among the stable runners.
 Attention
to detail is paramount at Fences Farm,
with each horse getting the individual attention
it requires. Horses are not machines.
Facilities are second to none, including:
- a stiff 7 furlong uphill gallop
- brand new horse walker
- excellent schooling facilities
- miles of off road tracks and bridle ways
so the horses are always kept fresh and
in good spirits at all times.
Mrs Robeson, her assistant Stuart Edmunds and all
the staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating. Nothing
is ever too much trouble and stable visits are not just welcomed
but positively encouraged as the trainer cannot see the point
of owning a race horse and never seeing its development at
home.
This can be as rewarding as actually going to see
them race as you get the opportunity to see your horse learn
to jump - from the very first time they walk over a pole on
the ground to watching them fly a big open ditch on the racecourse.
