Text Box: History

The Annwood Stud was founded in 1964 by Joan and Derek O’Brien, in Sussex.  It has been re-established in Herefordshire and is now being run by their daughter and grand-daughter, Mary and Lucinda Davenport. We are extremely fortunate that Joan and Derek are still involved with the Stud.
