Behind the NameGalloway Stud was named after the, now extinct, native horse the Scottish Galloway. This breed was renowned for their toughness and amazing endurance. They were the first true racehorses in Britain and are recorded in many historic reports racing all over the country for wagers and trophies, including at Newmarket as far back as 1681.

It is said that the three foundation Stallions arrived into Port Patrick in Galloway where they were then bred to some of the local Galloway mares starting the thoroughbred program. So it seemed fitting that as we specialise in breeding broodmares that we adopt the name.
