ABOUT US
Fergal O’Brien Racing is a National Hunt horse racing training establishment located in the heart of the Cotswolds. Here at Ravenswell we are blessed with a state of the art training facility currently comprising over 100 stables, both an uphill and a round gallop and an all-weather schooling strip. On site there is also an Owner’s Room, a Racing Office and 8 en suite bedrooms for staff accommodation.
The conclusion of the ‘23/’24 season marked our fourth consecutive year in surpassing over 100 winners whilst amassing circa £1.2 million in prize money. This can be largely attributed to our fantastic team of staff who are all fully dedicated to the care and the wellbeing of the horse. Our ongoing aim is to ensure that the horses are well fed, happy and fit in order to give them the best possible chance of success on the racecourses. It is also very important to us that owners are part of the entire journey, and we openly welcome visitors to the yard.
We have enjoyed much success since making the move to our permanent home here at Ravenswell Farm and we aim to continue that upward trajectory.

FARM
Our home at Ravenswell Farm boasts top of the line facilities and near perfect views.
​
Having only been completed in 2019 the facilities are some of the finest in the UK and were installed under the supervision and recommendations of two of our top trainers; Fergal and Sally.
​
We are very proud of our home, and offer you to take tour of the farm to get a real feel of the services.
FERGAL O'BRIEN
LEADING RACEHORSE TRAINER
Fergal has been involved in racing for all of his working life since leaving his beloved Ireland in 1989 to head to England in pursuit of a career in the National Hunt field.
​
He, along with his still friends, Richard Bevis and Richard Curran, initially learnt their trade, and with it the harsh realities of a racing yard, under the strict guidance of 'Captain' Tim Forster OBE and this early experience proved to be a major asset in Fergal’s own journey into horse training.
