GreenLane Stud started as a joint venture between Kathy Lane and Peter Greenaway. Our vision is to breed top competition horses for Dressage and Show Jumping competitors. We have built excellent relationships with some of the top studs in Europe and have invested in some top bloodlines for both our mares and the stallions we have chosen to use with them.
The venture started in 2006, so it is in the early stages of development. However, we have been fortunate enough to buy some excellent youngsters to start the competitive side of the stud.
A little about us: Kathy very tragically died from cancer in January 2011. She had worked for more years than she cared to remember for Mike Hounsell at Headley Stud. The stud concentrated on breeding and producing top event horses and Kathy broke in and competed many of their top horses up to intermediate level. Some of the best known of these include: Headley Brittania, who won Badminton in 2007 and has recently represented Australia at the Beijing Olympics; Headley Kingdom, who also competed at Badminton and on the international scene; Headley Bravo who, with Daisy Dick, also completed Badminton and competed internationally. Since Mike retired Kathy had been working in the North Hampshire area as a freelance instructor. She is very sadly missed not only by me and her Jack Russell Gus, but also by her many friends and pupils. She was instrumental in getting GreenLane Stud to the healthy position it is now in but sadly won't be here to see the results of her hard work.
Peter is a keen amateur, has competed at affiliated British Eventing and British Dressage competitions for fun but is now concentrating on the breeding side and has virtually given up riding. He works full time to support the breeding which leaves little time for much else!
We are very fortunate to have many friends who have helped out and some superb professional riders who have stepped in to help with producing some of the horses. Particular thanks go to Linda Rope, Jenny and Victoria Thompson, Amethyst Wickenden and of course the riders, Sara-Jane Lanning and Steve Mercer (together with his excellent groom George). They have all made it possible to continue with the project and I can't thank them enough for their support.
We hope you will enjoy looking at some of our competition horses and foals. If you have any questions or would like more details please do contact us via the "Contact Us" tab when it is re-established or call me on 07901 555398. I look forward to hearing from you!
