Winkfield Manor Farm Stud

The Cantrells have been part of Winkfield Manor Farm since 1975.

Formally part of The Crown Estate, King George III built ‘The Manor’ in 1786 to use it as his hunting lodge. The connections to royalty are strong as prior to The Cantrell’s purchase of the ground surrounding The Manor, it was a horticultural nursery. It is believed to have supplied Royal florist Constance Spry with the majority of the flowers for Westminster Abbey and the processional route for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.

The Cantrell’s purchased the land in 1975 when the estate was divided and Winkfield Manor Farm was born. Over grown and neglected, Roy and Christine gradually made a home, farm, stables, and lakes. As their children Mark and Katrina grew up the kennels and equestrian facilities were developed - all set within the beautiful Berkshire countryside.

Now, Winkfield Manor farm is run by Christine and Katrina Cantrell with help from Mark Cantrell. Equestrianism and Dressage being the main theme, Winkfield Manor Farm is set up to cater for all Katrina’s needs enabling the training of her dressage horses to meet their full potential. Winkfield Manor Farm also stands Christine’s stallion Woodlander Markies at stud.

Katrina has trained clients from Prelim to Grand Prix.

Katrina has been training aspiring riders and their horses since 1993. She has helped many combinations from prelim to FEI levels, including training and preparing riders for The National Dressage Championships. Katrina has also helped pony, junior and young riders on their quest for team positions.

Katrina has helped and nurtured some very nervous clients through some challenging situations with very rewarding and excellent outcomes for the riders, horses and herself.

Katrina is patient, understanding, motivating and demanding…. She coerces and encourages the best available from both rider and horse, with the horse’s limits and welfare always of paramount importance. Her standards are high, but she is extremely approachable - references are available from current clients.
