Ann Duffield
Anns motto "where horses come first" is very apt, as any visitor to Sun Hill will tell you and the secret to good training, as far as Ann is concerned, is to achieve the best possible results from each horse in the yard according to the individual horses ability, either on the flat or over jumps, while at the same time ensuring the owner gets value for money and hopefully, lots of fun, enjoyment and success along the way.
Ann is very much a "hands on" trainer, the first in the yard each morning and the last to leave in the evening, she puts great emphasis on getting to know every horse individually, because that is, she says what they are, "individuals". While race horses are certainly creatures of habit, they do all differ enormously in many ways from how they like, and need to be trained, who they want as a neighbour in the next box, down to their feeding likes and dislikes, they are all quite different and getting to know them, doing the right things in order to coax the best performances from them is one of the most interesting parts of the job - says Ann.
