» About the Forest Lodge Stud

Forest Lodge Stud is set in 50 acres of beautiful Somerset countryside in Pen Selwood, near Wincanton. We have 4 Foundation brood mares, all with wonderful trainable calm temperaments. We have three Hanoverian mares bred for dressage and one ID/TB for eventing.  All the Hanoverian mares have Weltmeyer on the Dam line and produce horses with good active hind leg. We want to produce modern lighter Hanoverian horses with good brains who are forward thinking. All the youngsters are handled every day making them easy to start. They are shown as young horses, so will have experienced travelling safely, going happily into an indoor school and hearing loudspeakers. They are started at home and hack around the wonderful safe tracks in the woods adjacent to the stud.  As 3 and 4 year olds we establish the principles of going forwards willingly to a contact, simple schooling and jumping and staying supple.
