  • The Park House Stables Newsletter
    The WINTER 2012 KINGSCLERE Quarter THE PARK HOUSE STABLES NEWSLETTER The INTRODUCTION AB KINGSCLERE was a memorable one for many reasons, The Diamond Jubilee celebrations, the Quarter 2012 London Olympics and the Paralympics all contributed to the ‘feel good factor’ that seemed to exist throughout the summer months. In addition to these events, Park House enjoyed its most successful year in terms of number of races won, individual winners and domestic prize money accumulated during a long and distinguished history. Whilst we may have more horses in training then in previous years and the rate of inflation over the last one hundred years certainly slants the figures in the favour of 2012, it was still a year to remember for all involved.Bonfire provided us with both the highlight and the lowlight of the season, his fantastic victory at York gave us real hope in our quest for the holy grail but sadly neither in the Derby at Epsom or the Eclipse Stakes at Sandown IMPERIAL GLANCE following his win at Epsom with his proud owner-breeder Sandie Newton, David Probert and Matti did he show what he is really capable of.

  • 2017 Summerhill Stud Sale of Mares and Weanlings
    “As One Door Closes, Another One Opens…” There is never a good time to do this, more so as it involves the dispersal of the families that have brought international recognition to Summerhill. When our former stud manager John Slade, was assisting with our mating plans last July, he was charmed by the layered evolution of our broodmares through generations of the leading stallions Northern Guest, Home Guard, Liloy, Rambo Dancer, National Emblem, Fard, Kahal and Muhtafal, all of them “top ten” luminaries, several of them national champions in one category or another. While this is an emotional time for all of us, it’s an opportune one for our colleagues. Our good friend Graham Beck, laid the foundations for his stellar successes at Highlands and Maine Chance through his legendary “raids” on their stock, as well as those of the Noreen, Scott Bros. and Hartford studs. For our own part, the partnerships we’d assembled in 1987 were dispersed on their maturity in 1998, and we were left with just 26 mares on the farm; seven years later, through our re- investment in those families, we’d won the first of ten national premierships. Famously, the dams of Jet Master, Royal Chalice, Angus and Pierre Jourdan, among many others, were acquired right here, as was Varsfontein’s “Blue Hen”, Secret Pact. While Summerhill’s successes owe much to the stallions that’ve decorated our barn over the decades, it’s arguable that we’ve never been better served than in the outstanding young sprinter-milers currently doing duty here, Act Of War, Capetown Noir, Willow Magic and Linngari; they comprise the bulk of the covering sires in the catalogue.

  • Ayurveda', Is Now All Set to Reap the Benefits of Ayurveda Through Health Tourism
    Chapter – 1 Introduction Kerala, the name almost synonymous with the word 'Ayurveda', is now all set to reap the benefits of Ayurveda through health tourism. The reason for this is the popularity of Ayurvedic treatments and the manner in which Kerala is marketing Ayurveda in medical tourism. Kerala is not only a beautiful destination in Southern India known for its scenic beaches and serene backwaters. Of late Kerala has gained international attention for Medical Tourism and is becoming a popular international medical tourism destination. Kerala is famous for its alternative medical therapies such as Ayurveda, which help to rejuvenate and revitalize the body. What many tourists have now discovered is that Kerala has a pool of trained doctors and nurses and an excellent network of hospitals that offer international standard treatments at very affordable prices. Previously Indians working abroad, such as residents of Kerala working in the Persian Gulf countries, would return to India for medical treatment. Now International patients too have realized the advantages of traveling to Kerala and the medical tourism industry has begun to take off in a big way. Faced with exorbitant fees for procedures such as cardiac surgery, dentistry and cosmetic surgery in their home countries, patients from the West and the Middle East have begun looking at India and Kerala in particular. Indian doctors have established themselves as highly skilled and conscientious caregivers worldwide. Many doctors who have trained or worked abroad have returned to India to work here. Their reputation has led to the growth of the Medical Tourism industry in Kerala. Kerala Travel Tourism offers tour packages that combine medical treatment with a restful holiday in Kerala India.
