About us

Pembers Hill Stud Farm was founded over 20 years ago by Kevin and Annette Cooper. The stud is now a successful & established family run business specialising in equine reproduction/breeding.

The studs most influential stallion has been Carnaval Drum.  Carnaval Drum was awarded The Champion Sire of young horses.  Horse and Hound Breeders award and won the British Horse foundation leading producer of young horses for 3 years. Carnaval drums most famous progeny was, Carnavelly, the 1st British bred world champion, whose outstanding performance ensures he is the only horse ever to have won the German Classic at Brehem and the Berlin Grand Prix in 1988.  In 2001 his achievements continued by winning the Hickstead Derby Trial, and at Olympia winning the World Cup Qualifier. 

The 1999 Festival of Show Jumping saw Carnaval Drum's progeny become the highest placed British bred 5 and 6 year olds in their classes.
Pembers Hill is extremely proud of their breeding success, one of the highlights being the horse and hound fox hunter winner Carnaval Spirit.

Carnaval Drum is at present 29th on the WDFSH Sire Ranking Eventing list 2010.
