Laundry Cottage Stud

A family owned business

We are a small private stud located on the dip-slope of the Chiltern Hills in North Hertfordshire and have been operating since 2003. We board and breed up to 15 mares and their followers on 90 acres of gently sloping light clay land, closely underlain by chalk. All stock is produced for public sales at foal and yearling auctions in the UK, Ireland and France.

Bloodstock

Discover the broodmares at the heart of our breeding programme on the Bloodstock page, where you can find detailed profiles, pedigrees, and background information on each mare currently at the stud.
