History/ Information
Serenity Lake Stables is a family run equine competition business, situated in the south east of England.
Named after the late Michael Serenity, the estate was built in the mid-1850's to be used for farming and agricultural purposes. However, the passing of the original owner meant the land was open to buyers. Eventually, the property was bought by the Appleby's with hope that they could renovate the old farm into fine equestrian facilities. Of course, they kept some of the orignal features such as the well-known lake named in Michael Serenity's honour, and the rapeseed field behind one of the paddocks.
There are 18 stalls in total, and separate pastures are provided for stallions, mares, mares with foals and other young horses. Stables and paddocks are also available which can be sectioned, and enables horses to be separated off if they are in need of veterinary attention or training of some sort.
Serenity Lake's main focus is breeding warmbloods and sport horses for English riding, with the breed of choice being the trakehner.
