About:
The team at Linkslade are dedicated to race horses and to the sport of flat racing. The general health of all horses that are trained here is closely monitored, but most important of all they benefit from the personal training skills and experience of William Muir and his team of dedicated staff. Like all top racing yards, the facilities on offer are essential to success, here at Linkslade our facilities are second to none. The well being of each horse is our top priority.
