We nurture our young horses and ensure the have the very best start in life.  Therefore it is equally important to us to find the right owner for each of them!

Somehow you know instinctively when a prospective owner meets a horse for the first time whether it is that dream partnership. I am delighted to say that over the years we have found so many lovely kind owners for our horses and here are a few testimonials from some of them.

Jane Jones, Australia Larkshill Desert Storm By Dr Doolittle out of Aika by Fürst Heinrich In November 2008, whilst seeking to purchase a Colt with exceptional bloodlines to import to Australia as a Stallion prospect, I came into contact with Heather Stack, Proprietor of Larkshill Stud.

Once deciding to purchase the Colt (STORM), the whole process from there on in, through the transport from Germany to England, weaning, pre purchase vet checks, X-rays, quarantine to his safe arrival in Australia has been one of the most pleasurable, worry and stress free experiences that I have ever encountered when buying a horse.

Heather is to be commended for all her efforts, support, assurances & her professionalism, together with her dedication and love for her horses and their ongoing well being. I would have no hesitations in recommending anyone, particularly overseas buyers from dealing with Heather, and will definitely call on her services and expertise in the future. Should anyone seek further clarification, please contact me on +61.419.553.693 or through my website: www.yeringequestrian.com.au

Louise Baker, UK Larkshill Decadence By De Niro out of St.Pr.St. Show Hit by Show Star I’m lucky enough to have bought Larkshill Decadence (Dex to his friends!) from Heather and I am delighted with him.  He is, as are all Heathers horses, beautiful and talented with a truly people friendly temperament.  He is destined for a dressage career – so watch this space !

Heather has a passion and energy for breeding top class horses.  She carefully matches her beautiful mares to fantastic stallions to continue to produce exceptionally high quality offspring.  Added to this, her approach to managing the mares and young stock leads to well-balanced, confident horses that are lovely to be around. 

I cannot recommend Heather highly enough.  She is not only very knowledgeable and happy to share that knowledge, she is always ready to help even after the horses have left her…….and she also makes a great cup of tea! 

Go and visit Larkshill if you are looking for a special young horse.

Debbie, Jack and Daisy Jackson, UK Fürst Larkshill By Fürst Heinrich out of Monik by De Niro Prada & Larkshill Tänzer

We first met Heather Stack of Larkshill Stud in 2009 when we were looking for a broodmare to breed a top dressage prospect for our daughter Daisy. We viewed Prada who was at the time in foal to Benetton Dream and were impressed by Heather’s breeding ethics and the way her horses live in a herd as nature intended. The fact that Heather hand picks all her mares and stallions carefully with temperament and trainability of utmost importance, as well as the obvious qualities you expect from a top mare/stallion was key to us buying Prada.  

After taking Prada home we found Heather to be over and above what we expected in terms of aftercare. As this was our first foal we were understandably apprehensive and Heather was always at the end of a phone or would reply quickly to emails with endless advice and support. When our fantastic foal Larkshill Boogie Woogie Tänzer finally arrived in April last year the aftercare continued as it does still today. Heather is always on hand to advise us with weaning, grading, traveling and anything else that we are unsure about. The icing on the cake for us was that Tänzer was awarded the Oldenburg Foal Premium - we were over the moon!

We contacted Heather again last year as we were looking for a young horse as a Grand Prix prospect for Daisy and went on to buy Fürst Larkshill (aka Tango). Prior to his purchase we had viewed videos of over 400 horses in the UK and there were only 2 that had the quality that we were looking for within our budget and happily one of those was Tango. Daisy’s trainer Nicola Buchanan (nee. Jourdain) came with us to try him and really loved him. She advised us he would be a great prospect for Daisy and we made the decision then and there.

So we now have 3 Larkshill horses and are eagerly awaiting Prada’s next foal due this summer. All of our Larkshills have the most amazing temperaments, no hang-ups, excellent movement and exude quality. If/when we are looking for another youngster/foal or broodmare without a doubt Larkshill Stud will be our very first port of call.

Paula Hebbard, UK Larkshill's Limited Edition By Stedinger out of Libitina by Beatos In April 2009 I began looking for an exceptional horse that I could compete and later use for breeding. I found Larkshill Stud and when I saw Ede I immediately knew she was the one for me!

Meeting Heather was a real delight, she was incredibly welcoming and professional. I was increasingly impressed and reassured with Heather's knowledge, love for natural horsemanship and well being. I therefore had no hesitation in purchasing Ede. Heather made the whole experience hassle free by kindly agreeing to be available for the vetting and later transporting Ede to me. I can honestly say that I had no stress and Heather went beyond all my expectations.

Heather's passion and dedication for horses is admirable and fundamentally reassures me that Edie has had the best possible start in life. Heather has been incredibly supportive throughout and has continued to offer her guidance and expertise. I would have no hesitation in recommending Heather and will continue to seek her advice in the future.

Pippa & Peter Geddes, UK Larkshill Affinity By De Niro out of Aika by Fürst Heinrich Email 6th March 2011 after Affinity left the stud as a weanling HI Heather, I know Peter has called you already to say that Affinity traveled back to Shropshire very well - but I just had to let you know how incredibly settled she is here!

Although she hasn't been in her own stable before and is next to a horse she hasn't seen before, she is just so laid back that has taken to it like a duck to water. She looks as though she hasn't a care in the world, eating her haynet as though she had been living in that box all her life. 

She has the right bloodlines and conformation to do well, but thank you so much for putting in the extra time to handle her regularly and give her a great start.

Email 18th March 2011

Hi Heather
Have been meaning to drop you a line to let you know that Affinity is settling in very well. I will get some pics in the next week to send to you - she is just so grown up. I can't thank you enough for handling her so well. She is an absolute delight!

Chloe Bernard, UK Dream Boy Bought at the Hanoverian Elite Auction By Don Romantic out of Hedda by E.H. Hohenstein It’s been over 4 years since I first contacted Heather to ask for some advice regarding buying a youngster with Dressage in mind. After a while we met up and I was shown all her horses in their fields. They were all exceptionally well cared for and obviously loved humans.

She introduced me to Rocky (Dream Boy) and I fell in love with him; a very short time later I bought him. For a few months he continued to live at Larkshill Stud, during which time Heather helped me get to know him better and taught me to handle youngsters. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional but very kind with it.

Rocky is now 5 years old and an amazing horse. We have taken our time with him but hopefully will be entering competitions this year. He is my horse of a lifetime and I cannot wait to see what we achieve in his.

Heather has always been there when I’ve had questions along the way and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a top class dressage youngster. She treats every horse as an individual brings them up to like humans superbly.
