The Billy Stud is a joint venture between William Funnell and Donal Barnwell, together they have developed a successful breeding program for the production of homebred British sports horses.
The stud is not only looking to cater for the elite horses and riders, as they have many young horses with the potential to excel in all areas of the sport.
The core of the breeding programme is to produce top class jumpers, however it is Donal and Williams belief that modern top class jumpers, need the thoroughbred influence as well as the quality, to become top class jumpers.
Irish brood mares are crossed with Continental stallions selected for their absolute proven jumping ability as well as correctness of confirmation, range, scope and temperament.
