WELCOME
Ermyn Lodge, situated at the heart of Epsom’s famous training centre and close to the historic downs, has been the site of horseracing stables for at least 70 years, and has housed many famous winners, including the 1971 Grand National hero Specify.
Today, it has been completely refurbished, and for the first time has been given a dual purpose, as a commercial thoroughbred breeding operation that boards mares and prepares foals, yearlings and two-year-olds for the sale.
