About Duncrahill Stud

Duncrahill Farm and Stud has been in the Cadzow family since 1931. Situated in the heart of East Lothian at the foothills of the Lammermuirs the farm comprises of 1030 acres. Currently we have a 300 head suckler cow herd, grow 200 acres of grain, and for over 35 years have been breeding horses for the competition and pleasure market.

We have a small team of dedicated and experienced staff who will work closely with you to ensure your horse receives the highest level of individual care whilst at Duncrahill. Our staff have many years of experience when it comes to breeding mares and working with young foals from birth through to weaning and beyond. We also have extensive knowledge about caring for horses requiring short or long term rest or rehabilitation.

At Duncrahill stud, our emphasis has been to breed sports horses initially using the Quarter horse stallion Waccabuc and then using our imported Quarter Horse stallions Side Hill and Venture Max who were the stud stallions for 8 and 16 years respectively. They were initially bred to thoroughbred or part thoroughbred, hunter type mares. Since the death of both our stallions we have used Warmblood stallions Stanhopes Diddicoy, Stanhopes Odwig and Silvester.

We are fortunate to have the space and facilities to allow our young horses to be brought up as naturally as possible with most being outwintered. Great importance is given to them having the opportunity to exercise, ensuring correct growth and development of limbs. We have found that handling our youngsters this way produces a horse with a good mind when ready to work. The stud is also fortunate enough to have excellent off road hacking.
