Lynwood Stud was established in 1947 by Morris and Ruth Burton (Lesley's parents) when they married and started farming at Home Farm, Bourton on Dunsmore. Originally the stud began with pedigree Fresian cows and pigs but Lesley's mothers love of Welsh Mountain ponies soon extended the stud to that area. Starting with three foundation mares, she has bred four highly successful stallions and numerou
s other ponies which have excelled in-hand and ridden. One of our earlier successes being Palmier who represented Japan in their 3 day event team at the Seoul Olympics. We now find our market lies with not only Eventing but also Dressage, Riding Club and Showing, producing both quality horses and ponies. We expect our horses and ponies to complete all disciplines - dressage, show jumping, eventing, vaulting and hunting. Our stallions and homebred horses must have excellent manners and temperament and yet be highly competitive, athletic and be versatile in every way and easy to ride by everyone. We are easily accessible and welcome visitors by appointment.
