Background

Margaux Farm is located just outside of historic Midway, KY where our 320 acres are surrounded on three sides by the South Fork of the Elkhorn Creek. This quiet, protected and secluded setting is perfect for the nurturing of young thoroughbred athletes. The maury silt loam soil, with its underlying limestone is the type of soil that has made the Bluegrass region of Kentucky the horse capital of the world. These soil, water, and geological conditions, have enabled Margaux-raised horses to consistently remain sound and competitive throughout their racing careers.

Our management philosophy is to care for the horse first. The nutrition and feeding programs are continually monitored by our staff and the nutritional consultants with whom we work. Our horses are not crowded together. We maintain between 3 to 5 acres per horse in the field in which the horses are raised.

All of our horse staff (16) live on the farm. As each horse is handled every day, he is led and groomed by people who are dependable, competent, and know each horse individually.

The horses that graduate from our program are widely accepted by trainers throughout the world and historically have withstood the rigors of heavy training. Our success is a direct result of the nutrition, soils and fields, herd health and general sound management principles we apply as we put the horse first.
