Mare Prep & Sales

Alongside being an outstanding consignor of yearlings, Highclere Stud has a globally-respected reputation in the preparation of fillies and mares for sales.

We understand the importance of managing fillies and mares as they prepare to begin their new careers at stud, or to continue already successful broodmare careers elsewhere.

Under the expert guidance of Lady Carolyn Warren, our experienced team ensures each mare is prepared to the highest standard with individually-tailored management and care. Our state-of-the-art facilities and fertile established pastures enable each horse to reach its peak at the optimum time for their respective sale.

This exceptional standard of care and expertise has been rewarded with leading prices achieved at the sale. Recent successes include the 2020 Tattersalls December Mare Sale topper Beach Frolic (Nayef ex Night Frolic), the dam of World Champion miler Palace Pier sold for 2,200,000gns to M V Magnier. Other notable successes include the sale-topping 2,700,000gns received from John Ferguson for Hanky Panky (Galileo ex Mariah’s Storm), 1,300,000gns from Winstar Farm LLC for Ambrosia (Frankel ex Pearling), 900,000gns for Luminate (Lawman ex Kalandara) from John Warren / Gary Haddon and 825,000gns from Ballylinch Stud for Chartreuse (Lawman ex Bufera).
