Andrew Balding has been based at Kingsclere since he took over the reins from his father in 2003. He quickly established himself as one of the leading trainers in the UK producing Oaks Winner, Casual Look, in his first season.

Balding is known for his ability to get the best out of his horses of all ages and types, having produced over 1000 winners and amassed over £4,000,000 in prize money every season consecutively since 2021.

A master of the big occasion he has achieved outstanding Classic and Royal Ascot success with the likes of 4 x G1 filly Alcohol Free, 2000 Guineas winner’s Kameko in 2020 and recent emerging stable star Chaldean in 2023.

He has enjoyed great success with Highclere having trained Bonfire to win the Dante and 2022 two–year-old star Harrow, to win two hugely valuable sales races.

He and his wife Anna Lisa, are the most generous of hosts on stable visits at their historic Park House Stables set in the stunning rolling hills of Hampshire.
