About

From a successful equestrian stud in the heart of Devon, this is our story.

In the late 60’s a young girl knocked on the door of a large house and introduced herself saying ‘I know everything about horses’… This one early act led from simple pony club fun to becoming the Groom for Penwood Forge Mill ( where her dreams of owning a Welsh Cob first started). 

The passion grew further over the years and the Uphill Stud was founded in 1988 (by this same ‘young girl’ that I am proud to call Mum).

When she bought a Welsh section D yearling colt, the first year of showing was a real eye opener! Over the years there have been many rocking chair moments; Winning a class at Royal Welsh with an own breed, holding a 10 year record for the highest priced Welsh section C (that she had bred) at Builth Wells, qualifying and breeding HOYS winners and breeding an Olympia Supreme Champion to name but a few!

Through all this I have watched mum work tirelessly to produce clean horses. So over the last few years we have used the concept of professional salon products to create items of the same quality, with the right pH for horses, that will give you quick, stunning, labour saving results.
