The next generation in performance

Meet Alex Tordoff…

Alex Tordoff is a 21-year-old event rider from Leicestershire and the driving force behind Hyde Lodge Horses.

Previously trained by several 4* riders, such as Rosalind Canter, he was most recently based with J-P. Sheffield .

Alex was the top British rider at the 2015 European Junior Eventing Championships in Poland, finishing fifth overall.

Alex is now looking for owners and/or syndicate members to join the journey.

Hyde Lodge is brand new bespoke yard in the heart of rural Leicestershire, where he is developing his business or buying and selling horses of the highest quality, as well as his string of competition horses.

“I’ve always been blessed with fantastic support from so many around me, which has been fundamental in getting our team to where it is today. I hope to build on this and achieve my dream, to turn this beautiful yard into one of the best stables in the world.”

“I have known Alex for a couple of years now and have seen him develop confidence in his riding and training. His time with J P Sheffield was hugely influential in establishing him as a calm, assured producer of young horses and I saw him improve steadily throughout that year. I had no hesitation at all in sending him a young horse my daughter had produced last season when she went to work for Micheal Jung in Germany. I knew Alex could be relied upon to continue this lovely young horse’s steady development. My daughter has not returned from the Jung’s yard after a full season so it was with great sadness that a sale went through organised entirely by Alex, I am sure that this lovely young horse and this charming young man both have very bright futures ahead of them.”

“Last year I realised a life’s dream and bought a young inexperienced horse. This would not have been possible without the facilities and support provided by Alex at Hyde Lodge Horses. I’m a busy Doctor working full time in the NHS who rides for fun and would not have had the time or knowledge to produce a youngster. It was so reassuring to know I had found the perfect environment to caregully produce the youngster up to a level when I would be confident to take over the ride. Right from sourcing a suitable horse, arranging viewings and help with the purchase process I could not have been in better hands. It’s immensely enjoyable to see my horse progress, become more confident and build a relationship with Alex. I enjoy my yard visits, am welcomed as part of the team and feel as such. There will be a lot to look forward to in 2018. Thank you Team Tordoff.”

“Delighted with the youngster I purchased from Hyde Lodge in 2017. A super stamp with a very trainable attitude. Alex was extremely professional with excellent trial facilities. We would have no hesitation in recommending Hyde Lodge to anyone looking for a well produced event horse.”

“We had the most fabulous time with Alex whilst he was competing our horse Chapman. He thrived off the facilities at Hyde Lodge, as well as the expertise that helped to devise his competition scheduele, taking us to the very best events. We always had a great time, thanks to the lovely hospitality that was laid on.”
