Equestrian sports, such as dressage and show jumping, feature the pairing of exquisite horses with equally refined human athletes. The aspirant athlete’s bank account will take a serious beating to pay for all of this elegance. British lawyer and ex-treasurer of the UK Independence Party Andrew Reid has a love for equestrian sports, and because of his efforts, his historic equestrian estate has produced over 170 champions. Reid is looking for proposals of more than $25,000,000 for the historic Highwood Lodge Farm Estate, which is located less than 10 miles from Central London. The estate spans around 103 acres.

When the 103-acre equestrian estate rich in history was up for sale, Robb Report reported every detail a potential buyer would want to know. In light of the urgency with which the “U.K.’s rarest equestrian properties” must find a buyer, let’s take a closer look at what they have to offer.

Paradise of an equestrian estate with a lot of history to it

Those who are interested in purchasing the Highwood Lodge Farm Estate will find it about 10 miles outside of the heart of London. This is a fantastic estate for horse lovers since it is situated in a rather rare area for a property of this kind. British lawyer and respected horse trainer Andrew Reid has lived on this sprawling 103-acre property for many years. Since 1995, the well-known trainer, who has produced 177 winning jockeys, has made his home on the property, adding to its value. During his almost two decades of ownership, he has made considerable improvements to both the main house and the horse facilities. There are now 14 stables, a horse walker, six-furlong gallops, and a polo field—all of which are significant improvements.

The Robb Report reports Reid stating whoever buys the estate in the future “will cherish and continue to improve” it in the same way he has. The estate’s outdoor arena is Olympic-sized, and it was once utilized for horse competitions, drawing crowds of over 10,000. In addition to the sports facilities, there is a country home with six bedrooms and five guest cottages and apartments. The main house is mostly brick, has four stories, and is 8,127 square feet in size. The grounds of the mansion consist of groomed formal gardens that wind their way to two ponds. Additional amenities include a tennis court and a huge indoor swimming pool.

Reid has improved the old estate’s biodiversity in addition to its many inside features. More than 6,000 trees and more than a mile of hedgerow were planted by him, greatly increasing the estate’s natural biodiversity and making fruits like apricots and peaches accessible to whoever would eventually get access to the house. The British lawyer who had a successful training career wishes for someone to continue his legacy in the same house.

The reputed trainer’s stellar career

Andrew Reid, who is 69 years old at the moment, has lived to witness many things. He is well-connected in the training community and has prepared horses for success in races held around the United Kingdom. His first horse to compete in an equestrian event at Lingfield was named Colonel North on January 12, 2000. His first victory came in a race at Southwell on March 14, 2000, with a horse called Irish Cream.

At this point in his career, Reid has saddled 177 winners from 1,932 total starts. Eccentric, a 22-year-old gelding, is Reid’s biggest winner to date. He also provided Reid with his first group victory on August 27, 2005. He oversaw the training of all of these champions in the luxurious surroundings of his $25,000,000 historic estate.
