Established over 30 years ago on the North Wales / Cheshire borders, Vlacq Stud has consistently bred highly successful performance Arabs, Anglo Arabs, large and small Part Breds and Sport Horses.

Our breeding programme is aimed at producing showring quality sound, correct horses of good temperament suitable to compete in open competition. As a small family stud we offer a personal approach to horsecare and ensure the youngsters lead a very natural life; we believe this makes for well-rounded, happy ridden horses .

The Vlacq Prefix is now well known at the highest level in endurance (especially horses by Shah Shadow and Vlacq Khazad), Show Jumping, Eventing and Dressage, (those by Shah Shadow and Hipu Who) and the Showring, (those sired by Shah Shadow, Vlacq Khazad, Hipu Who and the exceptional Shah Shadow / Huttons Ambo Chloe family). From 13hh Working Hunter Ponies, to Large Show Hacks and 100 milers we are proof that adding a little Arabian blood to your breedign plans offers h uge advantages!

Sue is an AHS Panel Judge and Laura regularly writes for The Arabian Magazine.

Very carefully selected performance bloodlines have been introduced over the years; daughters and granddaughters of our foundation mares are retained for line-preservation. It is such a pleasure to see family traits passed down through generations, the improvements that certain breedings have made and, most of all, to see our horses 'perform' for us and their new owners!
