Tweenhills 2020 – home of Qatar Racing Stallions 35 The Farm & Tweenhills Angus

Tweenhills has established a reputation as an outstanding stallion station and farm, and is the home of the Qatar Racing stallions, as well as the majority of the operation’s band of broodmares and young stock.

Over the years, following its conversion to a public stud in 1995, Tweenhills has steadily expanded with the addition of five neighbouring farms. The first acquisition was Corsend Farm, which is now home to the foaling unit, another, Chargy Hill, is predominantly a yearling farm and Catsbury is home to the isolation unit. This year, a further 60 acres of grazing land was purchased at Hartpury Court, with plans to install a new purpose-built barn for mares, and convert the historic barn next to the church into an events and wedding venue. There has also been investment in several outdoor all-weather paddocks, new winter barns, offices and reception area. Most recently installed are a three- furlong all-weather trotting ring for foal, yearling and stallion exercise and a canter for pre-training.
