Welcome

Based in Yorkshire, the Landcliffe stud was founded by Walter Bedford Senior and sons, and has been breeding pedigree horses since the early sixties. William Bedford and family have continued the stud after Walter retired in the early eighties.

The aim is to promote and breed horses to the highest possible standard, to ensure the future of the great horse. As well as standing stallions at stud, we have supplied top quality horses to breeders all over the world.

Breeding Success…

Congratulations to the Ramsay family of Millisle Clydesdales, on their success with Landcliffe Glassia at the Royal Highland Show 2023. Winning the Champion Turnout on his own against the teams, is a massive achievement. He’s been a great horse for them over the years, winning countless championships.

Bred and supplied by us here in Yorkshire, it is great to see homebred horses do so well.
