East Burrow Farm was established as a Thoroughbred Stud some 20 years ago alongside a commercial farming enterprise. The farm became solely dedicated to horses in 1999 when Double Trigger arrived here to commence stud duties.

Before the arrival of Double Trigger the stallions Out of Hand, Jester and Opera Ghost all stood here and alongside Double Trigger the stallions Gorse, Systematic and for one season, on behalf of Darley, Bests of the Bests stood here. Although the form is entirely geared towards the production of Thoroughbred horses, a small herd of North Devon cattle graze the paddocks and our own hay and haylage is produced.

Alongisde the stallions, East Burrow Farm has a band of twelve broodmares, six national hunt and six flatbred, and also boards select mares on behalf of clients. We are also active in the sales world consigning flat bred foals and yearlings, NH foals and store horses and both flat bred and NH bred breeding stock.

Horses are consigned at Tattersalls and Tattersalls Ireland, Goffs Ireland. Doncaster Bloodstock Sales and Brightwells. East Burrow Farm also pin hook an increasing number of flatbred foals each year, both indpendantly and on behalf of clients.
