About this company

At Anmore, we believe in the value of early handling and socialisation of foals and young stock. This approach helps our horses develop calm and confident temperaments, essential for future success in dressage. Our breeding program is designed to deliver quality young warmblood horses for both competition and sales, with a target of increasing our stock to 16 competitive horses by 2027 and maintaining a stable of 30 horses. Each horse’s potential and quality determine the timing of their sale, whether at the foal stage or as they progress in amateur-level competitions. Our ultimate aim is to produce professional-level horses ready for the highest levels of dressage.
