About Us

Jesmond Dene Stud and Equestrian Centre was established by its current owners in 1994. Set on 200 lush fertile acres, this well known historic property was home to the famous racehorses of the past, Big Philou and Jesmond Lass. The farm has also accommodated the popular Melbourne Cup Winner, Brew as well as many Group Winning horses over the years.

Jesmond Dene has since evolved into a top level equestrian training centre and Warmblood stud which uses some of the finest bloodlines in the world through the use of frozen semen. International facilities include a 75 X 35m Indoor Equestrian Centre with the Imported Geopat Surface, 2 Separate Stable Complexes, Full size training track and over 30 private paddocks.
The centre is host to regular dressage clinics by some of the top riders and trainers who include: Olympic Medalists Princess Nathalie of Denmark and Rafael Soto (ES) as well as Stefan Wolff (Ger), Anna Fiebelkorn (Ger), Stefano van Zuijlen (Ned) to name a few.
