Our Team

At Highclere Valley, our team’s wealth of experience ensures the highest level of care, whether in equine management or hospitality. As a dedicated family-run business, we are fortunate to work alongside an exceptional team of staff, each highly skilled in all aspects of stud life.

We are also supported by leading veterinarians, including Fil De Oliveria (Donnington Grove), Rob Dallas & Celia Marr (Rossdales), and Duncan Moir (Baker McVeigh). Chapel Forge provides world-class farrier services, while Marnie Campbell delivers expert holistic and physiotherapy treatments.

Our growing hospitality business is led by Zoe and professionally supported by Archie Duckworth of Wild Duck Construction, ensuring the same dedication and quality across all we do.
