PEWIT Stud, the former base of Irish Olympic show jumper Billy Twomey and one-time home of jumping stallions Je T’aime Flamenco and Luidam, is on the market.

The incredible estate is also the current base of reigning eventing world champion Yasmin Ingham.

The property was the work of the late Sue Davies, who transformed it from its origins as a dairy farm into a top class equestrian facility.

A prolific event horse and show jumping owner, Davies died peacefully at her home in the Isle of Man in January, aged 73, from cancer.

Run by Sue’s daughter Janette Chinn, Pewit housed a string of top-class horses including mares Anastasia III and Tinka’s Serenade. Tinka represented Ireland at the London Olympics, European Championships, World Equestrian Games and many Nations Cups.

Speaking after his Grand Prix win with Chat Botte at Bolesworth in June, Twomey explained that the win was an emotional one due to its proximity to Pewit Hall, where Davies, his long-term owner, had lived.

Chat Botte was bought by Davies five years ago and has enjoyed huge success with Twomey.

“It’s an emotional win,” said Twomey at the time. “Bolesworth is only 20 minutes from Pewit Hall, where Sue used to live. I sometimes pick up my phone and have to stop myself from trying to call her, as I always called her after a win.

“She was a huge supporter of mine for 22 years, which is almost unheard of in our sport.”

Convenient location

Situated between the villages of Audlem and Moore in Cheshire, the estate is near the M6 motorway and rail links which get you to London in under two hours.

The stable block comprises 16 internal Victorian-style stables fitted with rubber matting and automatic water drinkers, plus two wash bays, a feed room, a wash room, kitchen and tack room. There is also a first floor office.

There is a 51x25m indoor arena with a viewing gallery, which also houses a five-bay horsewalker.

There is also a floodlit all-weather outdoor arena and a grass jumping field with a selection of obstacles designed to mimic the Hickstead Derby. There is also a cross-country field with a water complex.

The estate as a whole totals 189.21 acres and is currently all laid to grass. The paddocks closest to the yard are subdivided into smaller grazing paddocks, all fenced with post and rail and each with an individual water supply.

The property is being marketed by Barbers Rural.
