Gary Sanderson has been involved in racing since the age of 15, over 35 years. He is steeped in experience and worked for many top trainers, not just in the UK but all over the world.

 

He is currently an owner and breeder of both flat and NH bred horses and has recently gained a full trainers license as well as working with horses in many capacities. His first foal as a breeder was Rocky Reef, who has had a successful career in the UK, winning 3 races, and has recently been sold to race in Dubai.

 

Gary bred Rocky Reef from his mare Leah's Pride, who stands here at Lilling Hall Farm. She has since produced the yearling on the "Our Horses" page, by Champs Elysees.

 

Gary has a close connection to Andrew Balding who trained Rocky Reef in his early career.

 

The horses will usually start their time with us at Lilling Hall Farm.

This is where they are prepared before they move onto a racing career which can be continued in the same environment and settings. This  leads to a more settled and contented horse in the opinion of Gary.

Dependent upon each horses individual needs, age and experience, Gary will break them in, and teach them the ropes so to speak.

Many of the horses  have been born here and have known Gary all their lives.
