Welcome

to bolton hall Racing Stables

We moved to Bolton Hall in June 2006 after setting up in training in a small starter yard in Lambourn. Bolton Hall Racing Stables is an historic yard set on the 14,000 acre Bolton Hall Estate. Bolton Hall Stud was a real founding breeder in the establishment of the racing thoroughbred as we know it today and 2 classic winners were trained from Bolton Hall Stud. The yard is next to Bolton Hall which is the stunning family home of Lord and Lady Bolton. The yard itself is the former coach yard and has retained many of its traditional features which really add to the atmosphere and character. The boxes are large traditional boxes with the front stable block looking out to the main Hall and across to Middleham Moor. The yard is approached along the main drive past the gathouses and lodges and then finally past the main Hall and around into the yard.


We have a great combination of traditional and modern facilities and have further improvements planned, please visit the 'facilities' section. We also have great facilities on the estate for owners and visitors with a lodge which is now a traditional B&B and is situated off the main drive 50 mtrs from the start of the All Weather gallop. Castle Bolton is also on the estate and has banqueting chambers which can be hired for corporate events, weddings and parties. You can visit the Castle Bolton website from our 'Links' section. We have over 15 acres of paddocks, private grass and all weather gallops, new horsewalker, horsebox, many forest rides and jumping lanes. This is all set in stunning surroundings of a traditional country estate in the beautiful tourist area of Wensleydale.

Bel Cantor winning by 5 lengths at Nottingham on 18th October 2006. Bel Cantor won at odds of 40/1 this day and returned to Nottingham 7 days later as 3/1 favourite and won again by 2 Lengths. This was his third win of the season. He is a tough, genuine and consistent horse just like his sire Largesse. This was his 3rd win of the 2006 season. In 2007 he added two further wins at Pontefract and Catterick. The win at Pontefract was a powerful front running performance to win a competitive Class3 6f sprint. Catterick was his first win over 7f and having been headed in the straight he dug deep and won impressively. Andrew Mullen gave him two great rides. He may have one or two runs on the All Weather early 2008 and then he will be ready for the start of the turf season where he should get his ground.
