About

Located at Potwell Farm on the Dorset/Somerset border, Anthony Honeyball is one of the most respected racehorse trainers in Britain. Anthony began his involvement with horses back at his family home on the Quantocks. His father John Honeyball, as well as being a Master of the Taunton Vale Hunt and successful trainer, was involved in the early part of the career of that great racehorse, The Dikler, training him to win his first point to point. His mother Sue was a talented show jumper. Between them both they produced many horses to a high standard, and it was this ability as a stockman and knowledge of horsemanship which was passed on to Anthony. Anthony both worked and rode as an amateur for Richard Barber and progressed as a conditional jockey for Paul Nicholls riding 45 winners under rules, before he began his training career in 2006. Anthony trained horses from his parents’ Quantock farm in Somerset to start with. He then rented a yard from Richard Barber, and in 2012 moved just a few miles up the road to Potwell Farm where he has now allowed his training operation to expand and progress, whilst still having the advantage of the famous Seaborough gallop. With a growing team of increasingly high class horses, Anthony and Rachael can help you reach your sporting ambitions.

Facility

Potwell Farm was once a dairy farm and is set amidst the beautiful, rolling West Dorset countryside. Antonia Cole first bought the property in 2003 and was instrumental in the expansion of the farm, until we bought the property in 2017. Over the past two decades Potwell has gradually evolved from a small stud with one barn and a tack room, housing Antonia’s private horses, to a thriving professional yard with facilities to support our resident athletes. We have 66 stables at Potwell Farm, situated in eight well ventilated barns, with windows in each stable. There is also an isolation yard with 12 stables. They all have self-filling water drinkers ensuring horses have access to water at all times. As with any successful business every improvement we make is an improvement on the last, so new boxes have been fitted with Sealed Rubber mats supplied by Quattro Matting, suppliers of race courses and yards all over Britain. In addition, we have two covered horse walkers on the site. We have at our disposal six turn out paddocks and three fields, along with extensive open schooling areas.
