About Langaller Farm

Langaller Farm has been home to the 'Upham' family for more than 50 years. Situated on the edge of Dartmoor national Park, it covers over 300 acres within a level valley basin.

Until recently, we have coupled our equine activities
with a pedigree dairy unit of approximately 130 Holstein cows. Horses, however, have always had a place within the business with particular emphasis on breeding, showing and hunting. British farming has been in steep decline for a number of years, and expansion of the equine side of the business has been a natural progression.

Facilities

We are delighted to board mares, and visiting mares often come back to foal down and be covered again. For many owners this takes the stress out of breeding - we take care of the 'sleepless night!' Foaling boxes are equipped with CCTV. In addition, all expectant mothers are fitted with 'state of the art' foaling alarms.

200 acres of prime dairy grassland ensures that all horses visiting the farm benefit from excellent pastureland, well maintained and rotated to keep it in tip top condition. Home grown hay, haylage and straw provide them with high class forage and bedding. 'Weight Watchers' paddocks are also available for those equine visitors belonging to the 'Larger Than Average Club'. Large barns and covered yards are ideal for loose housing during the winter months. Mares, foals and youngstock have their own buildings where they run in groups of 5 or 6. This is a favourite system of ours as the horses live as naturally as possible in a herd environment. Owners sending horses into board then have the choice of individual stabling or loose housing, depending on preference and pocket!

Stallions at Stud Devon South West England

Langaller Farm is situated on the edge of The Dartmoor National Park in a fertile valley basin. Comprising nearly 300 acres of prime grassland the farm has been home to the Upham family for over 50 years. Until 1999 it was primarily a dairy unit with a top class pedigree herd of Friesian cattle.

However, the face of British Farming was changing and we started to look at diversification. Having sent mares away to stud for many years and with lots of experience breeding and rearing young horses - the stud seemed a natural progression......and so it was born

From the outset we adopted a policy to stand only top class stallions and have been very priviliged to have some of Britains 'truly greats' in terms of sport horse breeding. Without exception they have all proven themselves within their chosen discipline, with the older ones now having offspring competing at the highest level.

In order to offer breeders the widest choice of stallions we stand a full compliment including a Riding Pony, a Connemara, a Homozygous coloured Event/Show horse, an Advanced Eventer, an Anglo Arab, an Irish Draught stallion, two Thoroughbreds and a Sports Horse.

We also run a herd of our own broodmares where we have some of the very best of bloodlines for the competitive market including Kuwait Beach, Catherston Dazzler, Shaab, Mill Law, Gildoran, Daws Firebird, I'm A Star etc etc. Every day is an open day so do come in and wander round and see for yourself.

Reasonable stud fees, excellent grass keep and attention to detail are all part of the service at
Langaller. Mares are welcome back to foal down too,we can take care of those sleepless nights!
