Since the founding of Louella Stud by the late Louis Massarella in 1934, we have always strived to produce versatile stock that will find success in every discipline. This continues to the present day.

Criminal Law and Lord David S have sired many advanced event horses but are also known for getting exceptionally good looking, good moving stock and both have phenomenal winners in the show ring. These include Bournebrook Golden Law (Supreme Horse of the year at HOYS 2005), Champion Hack Take Silk (bred by Louella), and prolific winners, in hand and under saddle, Mountain Ember and Mountain Legend (bred by the late Ann Vos).

Primitive Star, who was specifically bred for the job, and the young event sire Primitive Proposal are both worthy successors to continue the prolific line of the great Primitive Rising. Their foals on the ground are truly outstanding.

The young racehorse sires Rainbow High and Denounce are two of the best looking horses you could wish to see. We have no doubt that, with their pedigree and ability, their stock will be a success on the track and in the competition world.

Horses like Rainbow High are hard to come by, when one considers that he raced from 2 to 7 yrs (62 miles on the track) and retired perfectly sound in wind and limb.

Denounce was personally recommended to us by his trainer Henry Cecil, whom had considered him to be a definite Group winning prospect until he met with an unfortunate and serious injury. Denounce is an attractive proposition for breeders to tap into some of the top bloodlines in Europe.

Nomadic Way needs no introduction. He is a lovely horse and has become a leading U.K sire of jumpers. He is already off to a good start in 2006 with Ceeaway Home, who is an impressive winner of 2 Novice Hurdles in Ireland, and Redbrook Lad, who has won 4 Hunter chases in 2006 and has won 6 of his last 8 races.

With 130 acres of prime, well managed pasture, including 57 indoor stables, 2 indoor schools, a horse walker and 2 wash boxes, we are in an excellent position to offer a number of additional services to our clients. These include; foal and yearling sales preparation, weaning and handling of youngsters, rest and recuperation, breaking in, long term and permanent boarding, and foaling.

We welcome you to our website and hope you enjoy browsing through it. You are welcome to come and visit us at the stud near Coalville, Leicestershire, but please contact us in advance to make an appointment.
