ABOUT US

The O'Connor Stud was founded by Ryan O'Connor. 

Ryan has spent his entire life around horses, having had his first riding lessons from the age of 4. 

As a young teenager, he was inspired by the story of Mrs Moss, the broodmare purchased by the then Lady Tavistock (now the Dowager Duchess of Bedford).

Mrs Moss went on to produce a number of winning racehorses that helped to establish the famous Bloomsbury Stud at Woburn Abbey.

During a trip to Newmarket in 2015, Ryan was lucky enough to meet the Dowager Duchess and discuss his plans for The O'Connor Stud, explaining how inspiring the story of Mrs Moss had been.

Ryan now hopes to inspire a whole new generation of owner/breeders and intends to work tirelessly to encourage more people to get involved in the bloodstock industry.

Ryan has previously attended the Thoroughbred Breeders' Association Stud Farming course in Newmarket, and works as a freelance equestrian coach at Hyde Park Stables in Central London.
