Brief history of the Stud
Cheveley Park Stud was bought by Mr and Mrs Thompson in 1975, since which time it has undergone an extensive renovation programme to bring it up to be one of the most modern and respected studs in England. In 1986 Sandwich Stud was purchased as a private facility, where most of the Thompson’s yearlings are accommodated and also where the yearlings for public auction are prepared. In 1997, a further expansion of the Stud took place with the purchase of Warren Hill and Ashley Heath Studs, where horses such as PEBBLES, CARROLL HOUSE and BISHOP OF CASHEL were bred and raised.
The total acreage of the Stud presently stands at approximately 970 acres. (455 acres at Cheveley Park Stud, 215 acres at Sandwich Stud and 300 acres at Warren Hill & Ashley Heath Studs). CHEVELEY PARK STUD is a private stud, which takes walking in mares only.
