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.

Noteable Produce

Our most notable produce is Group 1 winner and 2025 Champion European Stallion, Wootton Bassett.
The other racemare that has brought honour to Laundry Cottage Stud at the highest level of performance on the track is Via Sistina.
Facilities
We pride ourselves on the superb range of facilities for mares and their offsprings. Our stud stands in 90 acres of prime and gently sloping land set in tranquil surroundings offering a stress free environment for horses of all ages.
