3 Snailwell Stud Just two miles from the centre of Newmarket, Snailwell Stud must be rated as one of the most desirable studs farms in the Newmarket area, particularly as it is suitable for broodmares and standing stallions. With a rich history, a good principal house, plenty of housing and well arranged buildings, it is a rarity in the market place. History Snailwell Stud was founded by Lord Howard de Walden in 1910 and acquired by Stanhope Joel in Originally a stallion station standing the Joel family s Chamossaire and Busted for the whole of their stud careers, Snailwell Stud has built up a reputation as a renowned boarding, quarantine and consigning stud. Stanhope Joel s daughter lived there. In more recent years the stud has been under the ownership of Martyn Meade prior to his purchase of Manton Estate. During this time there has been vast refurbishment of the property. Newmarket Newmarket is the global headquarters of the racing industry with 2 racecourses, over 70 trainers in the town and surrounding area, and particularly, the base for Tattersalls Sales. The greatest concentration of stud farms is around the town, enabling a thriving business of boarding mares visiting the locally based stallions. 3
