TEAM WORK

Working Together For Success

When trust and skill work together, you can expect excellence.

Success is an immeasurable team effort. A dedicated and enthusiastic team working tirelessly behind the scenes contributes to every single winner. A relaxed and friendly atmosphere promotes a stress-free environment, which in turn reflects on the horses. Teamwork is paramount.

Ownership

Experience The Thrill

Horse racing may be known as the ‘Sport of Kings’ but nowadays ownership is available to everyone. There are numerous ways to enjoy the thrill of owning a racehorse.

Racehorse ownership can be exhilarating; an uplifting diversion from the mundane, but must not be seen as an investment! It is a form of recreation, one that will provide an adrenaline rush and sheer buzz like no other.

“Brian has trained for me for 5 years. We have won at group level and been placed numerous times, winning half a million in prize money. He’s a great horseman and nice honest person! (Mind you I prefer Claire myself).”

Keith Brown

“Brian has a great mix of ambition, competitiveness, work ethic and skill. He’s easy going when it comes to running plans and when the big days come he knows how to enjoy them!”

Testimonials

“I have said publicly on a number of occasions, that given talented horses, Brian is well capable of producing top class results.  However I am of the opinion that the measure of a trainer is the ability to produce results with less capable animals.

At this Brian’s record speaks for itself. So often other trainers cast offs turn up at Spring Cottage and before long are in the winners enclosure.

Of course racing is all about winners but of equal importance is the race day experience.

Both Brian and his wife Claire are straightforward, honest and reliable people who do everything possible to make sure every owners visit to the races is a memorable and special occasion.”
