Anthony & Rachael HoneyballPotwell Farm was once a dairy farm and is set amidst our beautiful West Dorset countryside. Anthony and Rachael Honeyball moved there in 2012.
Anthony began his involvement with horses back at his family home on the Quantocks, Somerset. His father John Honeyball, as well as being a Master of the Taunton Vale Hunt was a successful trainer.  His mother Sue was a talented show jumper. From starting to train horses at his father’s home, he then rented a yard from Richard Barber before moving to Potwell Farm in 2012.
Rachael started out in the eventing world working for international event riders and competing up to intermediate level before the racing took over. She joined up with Anthony’s yard in 2009 and brought along her valuable experience acquired whilst Richard Barber’s Head Girl.
Over the last 3 years race riding has taken a back seat for Rachael. She has become the mother of 2 beautiful babies – Harry and Hattie.
Rachael continues to ride out 3 or 4 lots each day, and is very much hands on with the running of the yard and the decisions of where and when the horses run.
Moving to Potwell Farm allowed Anthony’s training operation to expand and progress, whilst still having the advantage of the famous Seaborough gallop. Antonia Cole has been instrumental in the expansion of their farm, firstly in purchasing the property in 2003, and secondly in allowing them to make improvements as and when required.
Over the past decade Potwell has gradually evolved from a small stud with one barn and a tack room, housing Antonia’s private horses, to a thriving professional yard with facilities to support their resident athletes.

Potwell Farm HorsesThey have 40 boxes at Potwell Farm, situated in seven well ventilated barns, with windows in each stable. They all have self-filling water drinkers ensuring horses have access to water at all times. As with any successful business every improvement they make is an improvement on the last, so the new boxes have been fitted with Sealed Rubber mats supplied by Quattro Matting, suppliers of race courses and yards all over Britain.
In addition, they have a covered eight-horse walker on the site. They have at their disposal six turn out paddocks and three fields, along with extensive open schooling areas.

They offer ownership packages to suit every pocket.  Visit their website HERE.
