Here at Bolton Hall Stables we enter the 2012 Thoroughbred Breeding season with two mares due to foal in the next few months, and with an eye on the stallion books as we make another decision on where to send the mares this time.
With a proven early sprint winner in our mare, Fangfoss Girls, we hope to have a precocious foal this time and to return to the same stallion, Mullionmileanhour, for this next year. The cross from two fast families should help to produce the desired result. Our other mares have yet to be decided upon, but we have a few ideas so watch this space!
Of course breeding is never certain but careful study of pedigree is essential to at least stand a chance. Recent visits to Coolmore, Banstead Manor (home of Juddmonte), and Darleyhave given us the chance to really look at potential sires,

and of course the likely result with last year’s foals now yearlings. Closer to home we have visited Hedgeholme Stud, Girsonfield and Monsieur Bond’s current residence at Norton Grove Stud. The latter being the sire of Fangfoss Girls.
We are very excited about 2012 for both breeding and racing – and will of course keep you up to date with developments. Our 2012 syndicates are available now – and licensed training is under way for the 2012 Flat Season. So it is all go for 2012!
